Description

This is the third attempt to produce a good photo of the Rosette Nebula. All three attemtps were made with the same L-eNhance frames. Nevertheless I uploaded them as separate images, so not as updates. The reason for this is the totally different workflow.

The stack for this version is made with the algorithm "Ha-OIII color" in AstroPixelProcessor. This very special algorithm, found in the tab "0) RAW/FITS" of Astro Pixel Processor claims to produce a good RGB stack out of NarrowBand filter-frames. 

I took the resulting stack and only did ColorCalibration, MorphologicalTransformation, stretching and some curveTransformation. So "nothing compared to what I usually do".

The result is very satisfying in my opinion, much better than the earlier ones.
