NGC 2244 Rosette Nebula (Harp Cluster)
It doesn’t look much on this page, but if you can download it and look at it on a dark background, it’s actually not bad. You may be able to see even from the picture above that the central stars (galaxies?) are surrounded by a pink-ish cloud (the actual nebula).
This is a stack of 650 photos taken with the Dwarf 3.
For an example of “real” telescope’s image, see here: https://astrodoc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Rosette-Nebula-HaLRGB-79m-2012-01-14-STL-11000-First-Light.jpg
I am very impressed with the Dwarf 3. The resolving power is pretty good, if you consider that the entire width of the image above is a tiny fraction of the width of the moon in the sky.
If I can get another clear night soon with the moon visible, I will try to get an image of that.
