The Rosette Nebula (Martin Palenik)

The Rosette Nebula

Finally a clear night! After a long fall with few clear nights an opening appeared so I decided to shoot something bright. I was able to sneak in all 3 channels in one session. I thought this might be our only clear night in a while.

Started with the critical Oiii as it was a moonless night (which the signal was very strong) - Followed by Ha then sneak in as much Sii before getting treed.

These nice long nights are so rare! Clear all through until morning . Got some data on Pacman while Rosette was rising, then until dawn started on some m101 frames. Overall a great night.

I went for the wormhole look here, fun having a full nebula on the sensor! Enjoy and lets hope for a few more clear skies. Thanks for viewing!

Also and most importantly I need to thank my wife for helping me setup the mount/scope as well

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
