Rosette Neb SHO

Why is this game so hard! 2 storms, rain, wind, tech problems and more rain and wind! This was meant to be a quick one but ended up a real long job. Ha data was v good but the Oiii and Sii was very poor. I would not have used half the data if I could get chance to redo it but as it was I wasnt going to waste what I had. 

60 x 240 Ha      58 x 240 Oii      49 x Sii      all taken with Zwo 1600 mm through SW 72ed

I always seem to have problems with not seeing green so i tried to get brid of as much as i could see. 

Any hints and tips most welcome and thanks for looking.

Very nice! Looks amazing to my eyes - love the colours - not too overstated.

Thank you, I find it hard sometimes to not over stretch things.

Lovely Capture but just a bit too magenta for my liking, so I bunged it into PI and I think this enhances your image: -

Thank you, that look better, Did you use the mask script in PI?

Lovely image even with the poor data. There will always be another chance for better Oiii and Sii data.

Brilliant image, love it - framing, detail, colours...  I've had the added bonus of revisiting it each time a new comment sticks it on the unread feed - even better 😀 👍

No I use a magenta removal script in PI which works very nicely using pixelmaths, if you use PI then just add this as a process icon and it does it instantly.

I've attached the file.
