The Rosette Nebula

[MarsG76]

Hello all,

This image of the Rosette nebula was imaged using my Astro modded and now cooled Canon 40D DSLR, through a 80mm Refractor and Baader SII, OIII and HAlpha filters.

Very nice MG. The modded and cooled 40D has done an amazing job.

This is one of my favourite targets to image, especially in NB - it is so rewarding. Love the colours, especially the blue, which I always seem to struggle to achieve in my images.

Thanks for sharing.

Cooling the DSLR did improve my images slightly, definitely much less noise in long subs like 1800s long exposures. I found that I can also push the DSLR to ISO 1600 now instead of ISO800 max of before cooling and have better noise performance.

I find also that NB images look more interesting than just natural color... thats in most nebula cases, not all but most.
