Description

This was not planned and I have not imaged the Rosette since I started with astrophoto seven years ago, but when I after midnight realized that the object I was about to image had fallen below my southern obsy wall, I had to find something else quickly and thought why not see what the RASA8 - ASI2600MC combo could do with this iconic nebula. Nowadays I usually aim at faint and less well known objects, and compared to these, processing the Rosette was just so much easier with an enormous amount of signal. So about 3 hours of data at f/2 seemed enough. Although I had the NBZ dual-band NB filter on I could actually see the nebula live in its full glory on my laptop in my one-second exposures during the focusing and framing.
