NGC 2244 with the Seestar S50--a 6-hour integration

NCG 2244, the Satellite Cluster, is located in the Rosette Nebula. This image of the cluster's brightest stars is a 6-hour capture (20-second subs) with the S50. It was stacked an processed in Siril, with Cosmic Clarity and multiple VeraLux scripts. I tweaked contrast and brightness in Affinity Photo. If you click and zoom on this image, it shows a wealth of detail that the S50 captured--impressive for such a short total integration time. I also processed the image for a more "natural" look, resisting the tempation to boost the saturation and change hues 🙂
