I've been working on the Rosette for a while

Actually , I was shooting on the HH and GON and the Rosette. I have added over 3 1/2 hours of narrowband data per target and countless hours of trying to finish processing these targets. I like the look of this Rosette except for the star color , I'm watching videos on getting star color and hopefully I'll have something soon.

For star color I use the AstroPanel 5.0 plug-in to Photoshop, i.e.: select the stars and modify their color.
Of course you can also overlay a star 'panel' on your image essentially replacing your stars with stars from a star database.

Thank yall , I'm getting better at acquiring the data . My nemesis is the processing of these targets I shoot on with my modest Po'man imaging kit , light pollution is increasingly a real pita { bummer}. I'm trying my best to keep improving my skills, my aide bought me an 8 pos.efw and some more narrowband filters. to help with the added light pollution and it's helping Woohoo !

Neat shot. I have found that narrow band can distort the star colors, (using the Hubble pallet makes them magenta).
One way to somewhat correct it in pixinsight is a script that modifies magenta stars. Another way I have done it is to make an LRGB image, separate the stars from the image with starnet, do the same in the narrow band image and use pixel math to add the stars from the LRGB image into the Narrow band image.
