Description

NGC 2244 - Rosette or as presented, the "Skull Nebula"
The data is all 300 second sub-exposures. 51 x Ha, 31 x Oiii and 61 x Sii. I was going to wait until I had managed to collect more Oiii data to match the other channels, but the image seems to have turned out well enough with what I have and I have had little luck with weather this month. Additionally I collected 10 x 60 second RGB data to add true colour stars.The sub-exposures were stacked in APP and all processing, other than a few final tweaks in Lightroom, were conducted in Adobe Photoshop.The camera used was the ASI2600 in conbination with Antlia narrow-band filters and a Skywatcher Esprit 100ED OTA.
