Cone to Rosette rebuild.

[ollypenrice]

This is a complete rebuild.

Still messing about with mosaic techniques. Here I did both images first in PixInsight to get the background and colour calibration (after co registering in Registar). Then I stretched them open side by side in Ps and combined them manually, adjusting levels and curves by eye and by sampling. There was less star colour in the Rosette image because of lower transparency on the night. It wasn't bad so I boosted the star colour on that side only. I think this is how I will do it till something better occurs to me. Overlays from the FSQ (Cone and Rosette regions) I also ran through PI to calibrate and then blended in at about 70 percent opacity with big feathers.

Ha in the mono and colour in the OSC, Canon 200L lens. Total exposure ten hours, excuding the telescopic overlays.

Well that is one stunning image. Clearly this level of image doesn't happen without some serious time and patience. Quite awe inspiring!

Gosh, Olly, that is fantastic! You are getting to be a real expert at mosaics!!!!

Hi Olly, the 200L is certainly working out really well!

I remember a comment you put on one of my images a long time ago with a 70-200L, "I love these hyperwidefields".

So do I! Keep them coming, they're great.

Thanks Harry. Not yet is the answer but it is on my To Do list. I couldn't get the video to download if I remember, but usually that is just local connection speed varying (from Donkey via snail to sedimentary layer...)

Yes please, m'man! If you need a low ability user to try it out for clarity, look no further than south east France...

Wow, that is definitely eye-catching to say the least! That 200L sure does look to do a great job!

[Sparrow]

Beautiful and quite stunning.

I'm working on the cone at the moment and have just finished imaging the Rosette - it's really nice to see their relationship in the sky together.

Keep on going Olly and do the whole sky please . Awesome stuff

Now you're just showing off!! That's a superb piece of work, as Kevin says, just keep going.

[Zakalwe]

Beautiful piece of work, which just shows what can be achieved with (very decent) amateur kit, dedication, skill and access to clear skies.
