Rosette Nebula (Core)

[Skipper Billy]

The Rosette Nebula (NGC2237) imaged on 25th January 2018 in LRGB - 75 mins of Luminance binned 1x1 and 20 mins each of RGB binned 2x2. Very poor seeing. Taken with my new scope (Explore Scientific 210mm f3.8 carbon fibre astrograph) which has been returned after warranty repairs - it works properly now! Equipment used - AZ-EQ6-GT mount, Atik 460 EX Mono camera and Atik EFW2 loaded with Baader Broadband filters. Guided with converted finderscope and Lodestar camera. Processed entirely in Pixinsight.

Nice shot of the core.  I like the bright and sparkling star cluster.

The colour balance is a little unusual.  I am more used to seeing the Rosette in shades of red and magenta.  

I hope you don't mind but just to show what I was thinking I made some quick and dirty adjustments on my IPAD ( -55 warmth, +35 tint - ie. reduced yellow / green )
