Description

First time imaging the Rosette Nebula - it only rises 39 degrees above the horizon at my location, so it is only viable to shoot it a few months in the year and only around 5-6h per night is possible. I am really happy with the results of just 4.5h of data on a half-moon night. It was good enough that I will even post the starless image - just to encourage beginners like me, that it is possible to get relatively good data, in a short amount of time, even from the suburbs with an OSC camera.

I will show both a pure HOO and a H(HO)O edit where the green channel is 75%O and 25%H.

Title: Re-processed a year later

Description: It is close to a year after I did this image and my post-processing skills has developed a bit since. I thought it was fun to see what I could do with the same data! And I think I have improved significantly. I am limited by the quite bad stars from the Canon lens (there is an IS element hanging in the image train), but it does show what a little deconvolution, GHS stretching and StarNet 2 can do!
