Mid-November Images
It’s been mostly cloudy lately, but there were a few passable evenings. I’ve recently imaged the North America Nebula, the Crab Nebula, the Pelican Nebula, the Dragonfly Cluster, and the Rosette Nebula.
I was recently trying to get M 42 from a new position in my Monsters' Clubhouse site, but it didn’t work. While waiting for M 42 to come out from behind my house (it never did), I reimaged the North America Nebula.

When M 42 remained behind my house on November 8/9, I decided to work on the Crab Nebula on November 9/10, and again on November 11/12.

On November 13/14, I decided to try the Pelican Nebula again. I hadn’t had much luck before, but I think this one turned out okay.

On November 13/14, I had some free time between the Pelican and the Rosette, so I grabbed the Dragonfly Cluster.

On November 11/12, I decided to try the Rosette Nebula. On the Dwarf 3, I specified “Rosette A”. It was behind the neighbors’ house at first, and then I was plagued by clouds. Luckily November 13/14 was much more clear, and I was able to combine them into this.
