Rosette Nebula DSLR

[GrantEb]

Hi All

Got a gap in the clouds at last, managed this.

Used 13 out of 18 subs.

13 x 10mins iso800, 10 darks, 18 flats.

I am no good at PP, so here's the link to the TIF as out of DSS if anyone else wants a go.

Cheers

Really great image mate! Love the colour,I'd be stopping people in the street and showing them it if it was the mine! (the picture that is.... )

[GrantEb]

Had another go at processing. Not sure which one I prefer?

[Taff]

What a very nice capture of the nebula. Nice and clear with you great colour.Mark

[Dave Smith]

Very nice image - provided the weather behaves I may have a go at that with my unmodded DSLR.

By the way I have run your last image through Peter Shah's star reduction PS action. What do you think?

[GrantEb]

Thanks Dave. Thats helped it along a bit. Seems less noisy.

I will keep a look out for your attempt. Will be interesting to see the difference between modded and unmodded.

Cheers

I had a quick play with the TIF file...

[GrantEb]

That looks great, thanks Steve. So much more detail and less noise.

Am I right in saying that the "redness" on the left of all the images is mostly noise, and not nebulosity?

Cheers

[SteveL]

there is so much nebulosity around that area, its difficult to tell

[GrantEb]

Wow, there is a lot hey.

Maybe I'll try a different camera rotation next time, just for interest sake.

Hi Grant,

1st of all let me congratulate you on the beautiful picture you have here. Great detail, color and contrast. Great job and very insipiring.

I'd like to ask you a couple of things - if you don't mind - about your setup on this one.

1-What mount and OTa did you use on theis one? Was it the 190MN? and the mount?

2-Also what gear did you use for flats?...light box, LED's, ets?

3- for post production did you only use DSS?

4- and for capturing with the Canon DSLR...what did you use?

Sorry for being a bit of a nag...but I like to learn with the best

cheers,

Paulo Mesquita...from Portugal

That's a beautiful image Grant. The Rosette is one of my favourites and its great to see such a great image from a DSLR.

OK, apologies in advance if you think I have murdered your image. I am no astrophoto processing expert by a million miles but given the chance to play around with s TIFF full of date I couldn't resist. Instead of trying to improve on yours I thought I would create a different interpretation. Hope you don't mind.

Feel free to slate it.

[studio1one]

on second thoughts it is too saturated.

That looks great, thanks Steve. So much more detail and less noise.

Yes, I think the left hand edge/corners have a bit of glow coming from somewhere in them, quite possibly a result of heat from the camera running 10min subs.

I'd do some gradient removal to get rid of the extreme red tinges in the corners at least.

Awesome pic though!!! Lovely, loads of detail!

Oh, and I too was wondering what scope you used? You don't mention a scope in your sig and that certainly wasn't taken with a 200mm Canon lens I assume ;-)

pm me your email address Grant & I will send back the tiff file...

Nadeem.

[studio1one]

OK last play with this now. I promise to leave your poor image alone

[Fay]

Very nice, Grant, seems like everyone has enjoyed doing their version

[namreg]

Couldn't resist!

What superb data - much better than the rubbish I usually have to contend with. I've never done the Rosette, but if I did and it turned out anything like this I'd be chuffed to bits.
