Rosette Nebula

[astrosteve81]

So the other morning I snapped the Rosette Nebula, I have never photographed this DSO and had been wanting too for sometime now. Even though the sun was rising I managed to get this result. I was able to take out the blue from my exposures so I'm fairly happy with the end result. 2 exposures stacked.
1 x 300 seconds
1 x 600 seconds

Nikon D810A - No calibration Frames - No Noise Reduction

Looks pretty good for such a small amount of data.

Thank You, this image has been cropped a fair bit also.

Impressive result for only two subs Steve :thumbsup:

It would be nice to have the nebula stand out a bit more.



I am sure there is an IncreaseSNRfromLimitedData script...;)

Yeah that's why I'm looking forward to photographing this area again. The two subs were almost blue they were taken as the sun was rising so the sky wasn't very dark at all so I'm very happy to still get this result. In a couple of months I will go it again when it's higher in the sky later in the night.
