Playing with the Rosette Nebula
Mar 17, 2024 14:28:27 #
Loaded my (unmodded) Sony A7R V camera and Astro-Tech 65EDQ scope with a Lumicon Deep Sky filter on a Celestron Evolution mount and shot 245x15 sec. subs (~1 hour) @ ISO3200 of the Rosette Nebula.
I fought cloud most of the session and ultimately discarded 73 subs due to 'foggy' stars.
Alignment, stacking and initial stretch done in PixInsight. The remainder of the postprocessing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop (A-P).
Enjoy!

Nice image of the Rosette. Looks like there is lots more nebulosity surrounding the main object.

I'll shoot it again when the weather is a bit better...
For the present here is another attempt at the processing...

Thanks Albireo.
I might get the hang of this yet.
All it takes is money and patience.

I'm not sure which is harder to obtain, patience or money.

Once you spend the money, stubbornness will get you the patience.
I can't tell you how many times I quit, just to try again the next night.
