Thank you. I centered the framing and cropped out the interesting tail on the left. And probably 20 minutes per RGB channel would have been enough, since I only took the stars from there.

Yeah, I'm thinking about shooting the Rosette Nebula now too, or maybe not. But if I do, I'll use the reflector so the whole frame is filled with that beauty.

It's already late in the season, waiting for next winter—it's a bit too low now.

You can shoot until midnight. The sky wasn't cooperating earlier. After midnight, you can shoot for 5 hours.
