Description

This image was taken over three nights in early December with an ASI2600mm Pro though a Redcat 51 1x. The image comprises:

Ha:     24 x 300s
L:        60 x 180s
R:        20 x 180s
G:        20 x 180s
B:        20 x 180s

Total integration time was eight hours. 

I processed the image in Pixinsight and StarTools (for deconvolution of the Ha data) and tweaked the final version in Photoshop.

The Redcat's field of view is perfect for the Rosette (one of my favorite DSO targets), permitting the capture of the nebula and cluster as well as the surrounding star field. I was also pleased with the level of detail captured by the camera and scope.
