Description

Rosette Nebula - Caldwell 49

After some time away from processing, it was a pleasure coming back and testing our third rig in the remote shed.  Dave spent most of the last trip refining backfocus and tilt in the camera and it has paid off!  We have collected some Ha and Oiii, with Sii still in the works.  Not knowing much about the QHY600 yet still leaves a lot yet to be learned but the data is really starting to pour in with basic gain and offset values.  We are very optimistic on what there is to come. 

One of our upcoming goals is to optimize tracking/guiding within the mechanics of the AP1200 mount to utilize the sub arcsec pixel scale when the conditions are good.  This was more of a test run on a small crop of the scope and the intentions were to resolve some of the smaller scale detail.  

Even though PixInsight crashed, I was able to salvage a .jpeg we had.  In order to truly appreciate the level of detail, full resolution is required!
