Little Rosette Nebula Sh2-170

This is my result from the night of the thread "Who is out to play tonight" 

This has got to be the faintest target I have ever done and doing it from my back garden at Bortle 8 made it even more of a challenge.  You could hardly see it even after severe stretching and several subs

I could not find any data in Oiii or Sii - probably it needs a dark sky, so I did HaRGB.

SWED80 & Atik428EX
HEQ5
Ha 3 x 600 (then realised I needed to do longer subs)
Ha 12 x 900
Red 5 x 300 binned x 2
Green 7 x 300 binned x 2
Blue 5 x 300 x 2  

Total Imaging time:
Ha 3 h 45mins
RGB 1 h 25mins

Grand total 5h 10 mins (all done in one evening went to bed at 4.15am)

I'd say this had come out very well, especially considering your light pollution. 

I still haven't managed to play with my data yet from last night. Stuck at work for a good few hours yet.

Thanks Geordie, shame you are working on a bank holiday.
