Description

My second attempt at the Rosette Nebula after several equipment and software upgrades. My first attempt was in February this year with HARGB on an old DSLR, this marks 11 months of progress and I'm extremely proud of how far I've come so far. Still so much more to learn!

First image processed in PixInsight (free trial). Doubt I'll be going back to Photoshop any time soon.

Unfortunately, this should have been a SHO image but my Sulfur data ended up having some serious problems. So HOO it is! One big improvement I'm working on is patience. I did not collect nearly enough data for this to be a stunner, but I was just so excited with how it looked I had to post it!
