Description

This has been fascinating working with this data and exploring the faint wisp throughout this wonder. I have other color pallets I have been working on as well and will post them separately instead of an updated version to see which one wins out for the most favorite.

I attempted to run several masks onto the image to attempt at bringing out the outer detail of layers in the Rosette Nebula, but may have gone to far in the post processing.

Please comment below on your thoughts our impressions. Constructive criticism is welcomed.

I've revisited The Rosette Nebula once more since learning Pixinsight's AIP script and now use Pixinsight exclusively for my post processing adventures. This was used by sing an SHO palette and a L_mask in AIP script using a combination of Ha and SII at 50% each to combine both in to the L and set the mixture in the green channel at Ha for 10 % and 90% blue .

Under previous paragraph I stated PI used exclusively for post processing . Well I take that back I did use in a few final steps in Neil Carboni's actions in Photoshop CC to try and reduce star size as well as reduce star halos. I also applied noise reduction and overall contrast enhancements. I may leave this alone for now.
