Rosette Nebula and the open cluster NGC 2244

This is a new version of the Rosette Nebula with both broadband and narrowband images.

ZWO ASI294MC pro color camera.

5 hours of dual narrowband (Optolong L-eXtreme filter)

8.5 hours of broadband with a street light filter.

The dual band filter only lets in 7nm of Ha(red) and 7nm of Oiii(blue/green).

Ha is Hydrogen and Oiii is oxygen. The electrons in hydrogen give off a red photon when they drop to a lower orbit. Same for the oxygen except it gives off greenish blue photons.

I processed this image using PixInsight, with all the images processed together. I did not split the narrowband images and didn't recombine colors, so the colors are not false.

I Previously processed the broadband image fiiles and the result is shown in another image listed in my PixInsight gallery.

The L-eXtreme produces images with darker backgrounds, less noise, smaller stars and brings out the faint parts of the nebula. I'm experimenting with different ways of combining the narrowband with the broadband. Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Monty

Description: This should be my final version, at least for a while.
Broadband: 165 x 3 min = 8.25 hours.
L-eXtreme: 74 x 4 min = 6 hours.
All the lights were processed together with PixInsight. I did not change the palette.
I tried very hard to NOT overprocess this image.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
