Rosette Nebula HST + Ha bonus

[Uranium235]

Finished this one last night by getting some SII. I was thinking of going out again tonight, but 6 nights in a row would have killed me! So tonight its feet up with a cuppa to process a few snaps.

Its the first time ive tried HST colour on the Rosette and found I was getting quite a strong OIII signal once id matched the levels on the channels, so I had to tone it down a little bit otherwise the blue/cyan gets a little overpowering.

In addition ive done a little stack of all my 2011+2012 Ha data, I lost a lot of fov due to camera orientation - but those lovely globs remain

Cheers Steve, you're welcome

If I get the opportunity to add more, I will give it a go since the rosette is in a good position for me now.

Very nice....love the way you've treated the saturation of the colours...just right IMHO.

Cheers

Wow - you've got some nice sharp resolution in there.

That's a great photo.

Thanks guys

I'd like to top up the Ha channel at some point this week since I lost a little FOV on the Ha channel through camera orientation. That should bring out those globs even more.

Rob, glad to see Ive got the colour right Its quite a bit different to other targets ive done in HST colour. There seems to be a lot less yellow/gold and a lot more brown/orange. I combined it three times but the result was still the same.
