Rosette Nebula

[Tom OD]

Hello All,

Last week Olly posted his version, and here is my one. This was a redo of a redo, until I was happy with it.

This is 190sof Ha, 90mins L, 330mins of RGB, and also a small 70 O3 thrown in at 20% opacity to the B/G channels just to lighten up the center core nebula.

Hi Tom, really stunning image with loads of detail. As someone just starting out with imaging, don't understand all the technical stuff:D however, can still appreciate a cracking shot.

We hae had loooong converstations about this one, T and I, over the net! What I really like in this version is the extraordinary detail in the ionization fronts and Bok globules. Get in close and have a look. They are impressive.

Thanks All, I didn't know how to really shoot this object. I originally thought Ha/O3 RGB would do the trick, but the L layer really helped bring out the stars and gave it more bite.

Now I see that there is some High Pressure heading towards Ireland and the UK in a few days. Time to start getting excited as long as we can avoid fog.

Tom.

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful.

The processing is expert and better than Olly's, you have given it real depth of structure - very impressive.

Great work Tom, I like the way you have blended in the OIII

[Tom OD]

Cheers Martin B, I've had many a discussion about the O3 with others. I liked the way it lighened the Central core towards a more pinkish colour.

A fantastic capture Tom and very nicely processed. A real sense of depth has been achieved and the colour looks spot on
