Rosette globs (Ha)

[Uranium235]

This was my 2nd target from last night, the only thing that stopped me in the end was time (it was getting pretty late), which was a shame becuase it always feels wrong to turn your back on clear skies and settled guiding.

The globs are my favorite part of the Rosette, another couple of hours on this would be even better (preferably not under a full moon) to get more contrast. I think i might just hammer this one until its perfect so...... "I'll be back"

ED80, Atik 314L+

Setpoint -15

No calib

Thanks for looking

Edit:

Ive had a go at combining it with another 80min of Ha data from the 150P. One of the corners got clipped due to rotation, but its certainly increased the contrast

Thanks guys Im hoping to add to it tonight, but I reckon its going to get a bit foggy later on. No major loss if it is though, it will give me a chance to strip down the RA axis and slap a bit of superlube in there.

Great dust close up with tiny specks not seen well in wide images of the Rosette.

Thanks for the positive feedback! Last night got fogged out in the end, but tonight looks promising from the forecast. I'll try to replace the 150P data with all ED80 so its extra crispy.

Finally the skies cleared last night and i was able to get more time on the globs. The seeing was variable, but im quite pleased with the final product (after much messing about in the processing). I could do with a few PS actions to see if it makes any difference.
