Description

The Rosette Nebula was shot with color camera ASI294MC and with Optolong L-Enhance filter.
20x5min
20 darks
30x1s Flat
30 flatdarks

I'm still practicing to get my equipment to behave, but this was the first time I had zero hardware problems and everything worked like a charm. Still trying to get a similar performance out of my Pixinsight skills but this is still way to go. Specifically there are issues with "natural" colors when you shoot with a color cam and use a filter that only covers for Halpha, Hbeta and OIII emission lines. It was a fight to get to this result and I'm not sure it's still scientific. The key to correct the color was the PI SCNR function and after stretching to adjust green and blue to "minimum neutral". Alternative procedure to split the color channels and merge G and B and continue from there don't offer an advantage to that in my eyes.
