Description

I only managed to capture Ha on the Rosette last year and it was looking like that was all I was going to get this year too.  Thankfully there were some clear nights recently (including moon free!) and while conditions were mixed it let me capture more OIII and SII to add to some earlier Ha from February.  

The SII was had some strong signal and excellent structure within - really enjoyable to look at by itself.

I really like this orientation as I think the nebulosity has more depth at the bottom like its churning away and pulling your eye into the centre.

Thanks for looking.

Captured with N.I.N.A., pre-processed in APP and processed in PixInsight.

Title: Updated colour palette

Description: While the XTerminator tools were used here, it was the colour I wanted to have a go at again and this is much nicer to my eyes. The added depth from some of the differing colours around the core is fascinating.
