Description

NGC2237 Rosette Nebula

Canon 6D modified Baader UV/IR

ISO1600

85 x 120" exposures = 2.8 hours

SkyTech LPRO MAX filter

0.8FF f/5.6 644mm/115mm

EQ6-R Pro Mount

AT115EDT f/7 at f5.6 with field flattener

Bortle 6

First attempt at this target. For the first time I used AC power for both the camera and the mount.

Stacked in Astro Pixel Processor. Processed in PixInsight following this tutorial plus some extra Starnet and Curves [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl036NZ3Eoc]. Then final Saturation/Brightness/Contrast in GIMP. I think the final product looks a bit over-processed. This is my third time using PI with a tutorial. Still learning.

Ditched the PixInsight as a bad n00b experience. Redid edits in GIMP for something more pleasing but still not entirely where I want it to be. However, it is better than the first attempt on this data.

Description: Ditched the PixInsight edit as a bad first attempt. Fell back to GIMP for some simple edits (curves, levels, star reduction, sharpen, saturation).
