Folks,

We haven't had a posting of this object for a few days so I thought I'd oblige ;)

While nodding off in my chair last weekend I'd asked my rig to capture some subs of the Rosette. This is 1 hour of luminance and 1 hour split between RGB, with the ASI1600 mono and Esprit 100.

Hope to collect some more photons this season to prop up the colours a bit :D

Cheers,
Dunk

That looks really nice dunk. Nice colours and stars.
The esprit range look like they're worth a serious try.

Yeah excellent Dunk, pleasing colours...has a sleeeepy look to it :P

Aaaah Rosette season :)

Thanks Scott! I haven't performed any star wizardry on this, so they are how they look when the data is stretched...I should work on my star handling techniques ;) Having got that out of the way, I'm pretty happy with my little scope.



:lol: Thanks Mike! Fortunately, the mount/guiding behaved itself while I was snoozing...not one sub rejected, and mostly eccentricity ~0.4. A nice stable night by all accounts. Shame I missed it ;) :lol:

Really nice Dunk! What exposures did you use? Ah so many targets coming up.

Very nice Dunk, you have your robot well trained.;)

A nice, warm looking Rosette. Well done, Dunk!

Beautiful colours Dunk!

Thanks Simon! That was 48x 75s subs at unity gain for L, 8x 150s each for R/G/B...so the noise in the colour subs isn't as well controlled as I'd like...

But yeah so many good targets around now with a cooled mono sensor :D



Thanks Glen, wish I could say the trainer was more disciplined ;)



Thanks Rick! Struggled with the colour mask with this one, so it's in the default colour scheme :sadeyes:



Thanks Kevin!
