Description

I had always been imaging the Rosette Nebula using the L-Enhance filter then processing a false-color final image. I always wanted to see this in natural color, so I seized the opportunity at a Bortle 2 site such as the Grand Canyon, unfiltered. I had already been imaging galaxies at the GC so I knew what to expect in terms of exposure lengths.

This is a single sub, 600s@ISO3200. This was not stacked or calibrated. All I did was enhance it in Photoshop.
