Here's a rough stack and process of a deep space object captured through the telescope a couple of weeks ago. I might try to get more data on this one when the moon racks off.
Caldwell 39, AKA the Rosette Nebula is a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of our Milky Way Galaxy. Estimated distance from 4,900 to 5,200 light-years from Earth and roughly 130 light years in diameter. To put that in perspective, our closest star besides the sun, (one of the two pointers near the Southern Cross) is five light years away. You would have to travel at 300,000 km per hour for five years to get there.
