Rosette in LRGB

[dave_galera]

As I am still new to this game, this is only my fourth image I have done, I thought I would do an easy one.......wrong again!!

It was a lot harder than I thought, the nebula was an overall red and the young blue stars wheren't blue. I picked up a hint on Peter Shah's thread on his nebula about G2v calibration, and after simulating this when I combined the RGB solved the problems......thanks Peter for the hint.

The image has a total of 10hours, LRGB with 300s subs.

The one thing that still concerns me is that I think the stars are over-powering the nebula but I am at a loss as how to get them less obtrusive.

Any comments would be gratefully appreciated, thanks for looking.

Thanks for your encouraging comments. I find it difficult to get the right balance, stuck out here in southern Spain I have nobody to talk to , so I rely on forums to get any feedback. Thanks again.

Great image you could reduce the stars in Photoshop I have a tutorial for that on my blog but I think it looks pretty awesome the way it is.
