Rosette nebula

[Paul Holdsworth]

Hi all, one of my favourite nebulas and still relatively high this is 6.5 hrs of 5 min subs on the rosette nebula. Imaging time was pretty poor throughout February so I'm quite pleased I got this one finished last night. Image was stacked in APP, processed in pixinsight with all the latest stuff and finished off in photoshop ( still love photoshop for selective colour ). 

Cheers Paul

Nice image Paul, great vibrant colours. Couldnt help but notice the brighter corners as if flat frames havent quite worked. Pleased to hear someone else still likes Photoshop  You cant beat its finesse and real time viewing when processing.

That's a very nice image Paul.

Could you share a few details around the gear and settings used?

Cheers!

Thanks Adrian, yes I agree on the corners and I'm sure you're right about the flats. In fact I remember on the last session the flats were way brighter than normal. 👍
