A little bit of the rosette nebula

[MikeD]

Bright moon and clear skies, decided to get in close on the rosette neb in Ha.

30 x 5 mins with my HX916CCD through my 10" newt.

Wonderful work as usual Mike. Still waiting to get a night to use my 250px :crybaby: As it was only going to be clear for a short while last night i decided to use the Borg, everything that could go wrong did!!!

Superb as usual Mike.

Please tell me that you also take loads and loads of carp images that you never show anybody

Thats brilliant Mike - the 10" really does a good job at that - are you thinking of mosaicing that?

Cheers,

Richie

[Les Tilly]

That sure is close Nice processing now you have to do a mosaic

You've really dived in to that Mike. Exceptional detail pervades this image.

A class act indeed.

Ron. :salute:

Love this HiRes image, the Bok's really stand out it looking like drops of dripping wax.

[MikeD]

Thanks all.

TJ. generally if I process it I'll post it, some might not make it onto my website though.

I did have a nightmare getting guiding going last night (2 hours fiddling with settings) I had planned to get at least 4 hours on this.

Mike.

[Psychobilly]

Ooooohhh yes! I love those ionization fronts and think the idea behind this image is great. These details really do merit a close look. stunning contrast between the smoothness of the cloud and the ragged hard-edged 'cracks.'

Olly.

[MikeD]

Thanks again guys

are you thinking of mosaicing that?

Sorry for the late reply to your question Richie :oops:

I was not planning a mosaic because of the trouble I had with my Hart neb mosaic, differing conditions between nights over the seasions I took it made it a pig to put together.

here a link to the hart neb result so far http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lesley.deegan/skyatnight/IC1805-11-mosaic.jpg

at full size you can see how the diffrent frames of the mosaic show diffrent levels of noise and detail determined by the conditions of each night.

But saying that I'll never say never.

Mike
