Description

This is an experimental image: I revisited the Rosette Nebula I shot from Dicember 2021 and February 2022, and tried to follow a way different workflow to squeeze the raw master file as much as I could, enhancing faint structures and fine micro-details. I was looking for a "wow" effect, thank to the 32 hours integration time that drove me to the previous final image. This Rosette Nebula has strong colors, strong micro-contrast, but low noise, due to the use of different softwares.
Post-processing was heavy for sure and I chose to work on a starless image, to better take care of nebulosities. Some people could like this image, others could not, but I am pretty sure that daring is the road to learn new tecniques and better understand the tools we usually work with.
