Rosette Nebula Rgb

[Mike Hawtin]

C6 Hyperstar 2 panel mosaic taken with an Atik 428EX mono and Baader RGB filters.  Each panel 12 x 300 sec per channel.  The RGB mix is really growing on me as it seems keep the star colours even down to the fainter stars that adding Luminance always seems to wash out, at least for me anyway.

Thanks for looking.

Ha rather than L works really well on the rosette, as I've just discovered!

Thanks for the tip Paul, as it happens I've got some Ha from a previous bi-colour effort, I'll have to chuck that in and see how I get on.

You were quite right Paul, I've dug out my old Ha and done a quick 'n' dirty LRGB combination, just got Ha for the central area but I think I'll get two panels to match the RGB as soon as poss.  Thanks for the tip again.

Glad to be useful

Excellent! I love the dense colorful starfield in your RGB image. Like diamond dust.

Thanks Derek, I had to dial the stars back a bit though, they were pretty overwhelming without reduction.
