The Rosette Nebula Tonight

[Leveye]

2 weeks of rain and  finally a break. Needless to say the rig came out and my new SV80 needed to be tested some more to compare to my AT65EDQ. It's turning out to be one amazing scope.

16 lights 5 darks at 300 seconds 10 bias ISO 800 here. Let me know what you think of the processing.

very nicely done, i like the colour balance a lot! the processing looks pretty good as well, the stars are round and the image looks flat to me. it does look a little noisy around the left hand edge of the nebula.

A very nice image. I also like the colour and the stars.

Many thanks for the feedback much appreciated!  I've been wanting to try some noise reduction in the luminance channels like i've seen Doug German do lately. Maybe that would cut back on some of the noise here.

This one is with some NR in the Luminosity channels and also some layering of the channels to enhance detail.

Very nice indeed - good to see it coloured other than of reddish hue!
