Gathering 20 hours of data on the Rosette Nebula and SHO processing with HA stars

[Frosth76]

I feel like I have reached a milestone, almost like graduation in some ways. I have spent countless hours on the Internet and on Youtube researching this hobby, different equipment, software, processing techniques and finally climbed over the threshold. It’s been only 5 months since I bought my first telescope and took my very first image of the Andromeda Galaxy with a DSLR. I since then have tried to learn everything there is to learn, and I’m a kind of person that want to know everything right away. So about one month ago I decided to go over to the world of mono and narrowband imaging. I quickly tested the equipment and fell in love in the first image that the camera produced and the processing options available. Over the past weeks I have been gathering data on this project, the Rosette Nebula, and you could say this is my very first image, processed in SHO with HA stars.

Wow, what a start! Congratulations and welcome to SGL. 

I've recently moved to mono too, with your same camera and filters, and I'm willing to start my first project. I wish it was half as good as yours.

Wish I could get images like that after just a few months in the game!

I would echo that statement 🙂 , even if you change the months to years 🙂 

That is a great image.
