Rosette beginnings

[jahnpahwa]

Bonus night continued last night, setting this going at 1am and not dropping a sub until 5.

This is six months, almost to the day, after getting my first telescope for my 40th. I'm really chuffed with how far I've come, and chuffeder that I started at all.

I've gone and overcooked the processing, as usual, but more data will hopefully help me take my fingers off all the buttons.

17 x 300s on each channel, SHO. I left the green in, dont mind it for now.


Astrobin here https://www.astrobin.com/dl0vui/


I think this is one of only two images that I've been pretty happy with without cropping. Automatic background Extraction in PI is quick and I think tidies things up pretty well.

Super mega-congratulations!

haha! Thanks Mike. I was lucky enough to get a look at a longer reply, and was glad to read it . I definitely don't have a degree in this stuff, and really appreciate your taking the time to explain it :thumbsup:

Most excellent JP. I would love to see the details when Astrobin comes up.

Sorry Ray, I've been mucking around with versions and so on. Have just put up the version that the thumbnails here came from, should be good to go now with the link in the original post :thumbsup:

Very very nice JP. This is one of those objects that I think has its merits in both true color and scientific color schemes. Well done 👍

JP
Really nice Rosette
Look likes this hobby is got you well and truly hooked now
Great work !!
Keep it up
PS: You might have to slow down a bit, at 40 you might run out of objects to image
I’m a bit different I started at 60 so I have got time against me but I don’t think about it , just enjoy every night I go out when it’s clear ( big east coast low hitting Vic and NSW now and moving damn slow so no AP for 2 weeks )
Time to do some housekeeping
Cheers

Thanks a lot, Ryan, Martin and Mike :)


Martin, I'm banking on slowing down a bit after this first year, collecting half-done images of many things... I 'd really like to choose one or perhaps two things per month to do a really good job of some time. Maybe it'll take a few laps of the sun to settle into that routine, though! Definitely have more to do here when this weather clears, though.

awesome JP you've been putting up some nice work of late . Just love colours . When the weather finally clears here the rosette and ngc 3324 are on my radar . I haven't had a clear
Night for a couple of weeks now
