Ha 5nm: 11X600s and 33X300s
OIII 3nm: 48X300s
ED80 on HEQPro
ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro

Have various colour versions but think I prefer the more muted appearance. Another more blue/purple version is attached which came a little easier. Still hoping to add S2 when the sky clears. Always welcome criticism, preferences and comments.

Hi Ben,
that's a very high quality picture -
tiny stars & plenty of detail with rich color.
I'm not sure which version I like the most.


cheers

Looks great! I think I prefer the muted one too. With equal amounts of SII it will make a great SHO version.

Looks great, Ben! I think somewhere in between the two would be my preference.

How about this smokier version? I think the cooler details don't get so lost in all the action perhaps? Update on astrobin.

Thanks for the nice comments too :-)

Of all the seasonal favourites, the ones positively hammered by every farmer and his imager ...the Rosette is perhaps my favourite. :)

All versions look ok to me Ben, with nice details :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike. I get the feeling each new process might be like a different possible direction rather than an out and out improvement. Anyway, bound to be more versions:rolleyes:

My very first go at this a year or two ago with a DSLR was pretty awful so glad to revisit it and have something better :-)

Oh and here is that next version, that isn't as fractured as the first or as muted as the third (and cropped)

+1^ for the colours :thumbsup: Not too sure the crop helps though...:question:

Thanks for the comments :-) Cropped the original as the outer edges bothered me (too much grayish guff, easy to over cook). However why not version E :D Can’t upload it yet to Astrobin but here is it straight from the iPad.

So many versions Ben! :) I prefer the original one though - a subtle but beautiful rendition. Nice work!
