Description

Workflow test on the Rosette Nebula. 2 hours of color data from the DSLR combined with 1 hour of Ha in the 2600MM as luminance. The technique worked well at f/10 but at f/2 on the Hyperstar, the shadows in the deep DSLR lightbox were a pain in the butt and the data suffered. I don't think I'm going to bother trying this again. I've ordered an RGB set of filters to use on the 2600. It's a good image for all that and at only 3 hours of integration I'm happy with it. The processing took more fudging than I like to do but I don't feel I've compromised my integrity as a photographer 🤣. If you go check out the full resolution image on astrobin you can really appreciate the tiny stars and tremendous detail that is revealed in the 656 nanometer wavelength. Clear skies everyone!
