NGC 2244, also called Caldwell 50 or the Satellite Cluster, is an open cluster within the Rosette Nebula in the constellation Monoceros. It contains multiple O-type stars—extremely hot, massive stars that emit intense radiation and powerful stellar winds. 

The Winter of 2025 has continued to be awful. Ideally, I would have liked to spend more time on this target, but I've had to work around the weather, dodging the clouds. I managed only 44 exposures of 120 seconds each using my new Optolong L-eNhance Tri-Band Deep Sky Imaging Filter, totaling just under 1.5 hours. I had hoped for at least 4-6 hours, but given the conditions, this will have to do for now. Hopefully, I'll get a clear night soon to add more data. Despite the weather, I'm quite happy with my first attempt at capturing the Rosette Nebula with my Redcat 51mm.
