Open cluster NGC2244 in the Rosette Nebula

I'm going to throw away this faint, low-contrast, unfocussed, badly framed image of this beautiful nebula as soon as I get a better one. That will have to come from a darker site, and I will need to use the modified SLR. This was just a quick test to see what length of exposure would be required.
