Description

Rosette Nebula from the backyard during January.

Taken as a part of a series where I was attempting to get pictures of Lovejoy, the Rosette was well positioned for the camera to track through the night after the comet set.

Pentax K10D DSLR (modified and cooled) with the smc P-A* 1:4 300mm lens. IDAS LPS P2 filter used on the camera lens to boost contrast and control light pollution.

This is a stack of 26 subexposures of 600 seconds at 100 ISO for 4 hours and 20 minutes of integration.

Calibration done in Maxim, stacking with DSS, and processing in PI. The exported TIFF files were loaded in LR5 where some of the red color of the nebula was tweaked to be less of a salmon hue.
