Description

My very first guided image. Still only using a tracker, so guided & dithered in RA only. I know the Rosette would benefit from a modded and filtered camera, but I just wanted to give it a go and see how it would look with my Canon 60D and hope the guiding would allow me to get longer & better subs. I'm happy how well it worked! Only threw out 2 subs all night (wind gust perhaps), and took 8 minute shots with just a tracker! I don't mind that it's not all red like most, I'll eventually re-take it with more Ha when I get filter & better camera. I like how this turned out but may try re- processing again... The star field was insanely dense and bright and in my efforts to reduce this it left the tiny stars a bit too contrasty (at least when pixel peeping). I'll try to re edit again later.
