Yes, I left my focusing aid on there. Accidentally at the beginning, then I decided to leave it on to see how it came out. It is a cross made of metal rods and a sewing hoop.

Superb result! I don't think I've seen a better H-alpha Rosette! Any plans to collect LRGB data, or are you happy with this as a final product? No criticism intended--just curious.
