Reprocess of NGC2236 - Rosette Nebula

[RichieJarvis]

Hi All,

I've reprocessed my data to add a bit of sharpening. I think it looks alot better now

The original and exposure/equipment details can be found here

I must be turning into Gordon! All this processing whilst the weathers bad

Cheers,

Richie

Very nice Richie, those dark areas look great hanging down from the top.

It's nice Rich, but the stars are all tear shaped, did a dodgy sub sneak in there?

I love those dark pillars, wish I had the kit to get in real close in on them. You coming to Lucksall btw? Be great to meet up.

[RichieJarvis]

I'll have to have a look...

It was the first time out in the field though!

Yup - I'll be @ Lucksall (assuming thats SGL4 in Herefordshire )

Cheers for the comments....

Hi Richie

I must be turning into Gordon!

One of me is quite enough thankyou! Nice image, with good detail in the dark filaments, are you going to add the SII data sometime?

Best wishes

Gordon

Hehe Gordon Nope - I don't have an SII filter yet, and tbh, I think I am going to buy an Hb filter before I get an SII filter (RGB instead of RGR)

@TJ - just checked the subs - I wonder whether the camera was exactly in the focuser drawer tube for these subs It doesn't look like coma to me, as the stars are not stretched in different directions radiating from the centre.

To be honest, I am getting fed up with the lack on consistancy in attaching cameras to scopes - a 2" tube with a single screw just isn't up to scratch Bear in mind I am constantly changing scopes, putting FR's inline and outta line. Everything is screw fitting, apart from the connection to the 'scopes.

The only solution I have found for this is these Self-Centre T-Adaptors: HoTech - Ultimate Green Laser with Flashlights, Green Laser, green laser pointer, green, laser sight, gunsight, telescope, laser collimator, laser mount, astronomy product, green laser with flashlight.reen Laser, green laser pointer, green laser astr - I did contact Hotech a while ago, but they haven't replied

Anyone else got a good solution??

Cheers,

Richie

Fantastic picture Richie, awesome colours and excellent detail!

[ollypenrice]

My only solution to the pesky fitting issue is not to mix cmameras-scopes-adapters but rather find one combination that works snugly and stick to it. (I also rail against cutouts and brass compression rings whenever I possibly can! Until they are standardized we would be better off without any of them.)

Very good image Richie, I'm jealous.
