Description

The Rosette Nebula, first object for the Meade 127mm Triplet and it did not disappoint. Some star elongation in the corners but that is most likely due to the Orion .8x reducer I am using, will get a WO reducer\flattener at some point in the near future. First sequence using SGP as the image acquisition software, outstanding software and I plan to keep using it from now on.

This is also the first refractor image that I have processed in PixInsight. There was a little challenge in that the blue channel had larger star sizes that the red and green channels, red and green were the same. Using the channel extraction tool I was able to get them near equal.
