Rosette Nebula duo band

[multiweb]

This one is the Rosette, well placed at the moment. I managed to get nearly 5h in 5min subs on the night of better seeing which was Saturday.

I did a crop of the core and the interesting bits:
1:1 here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/NGC2244_FSQ106N_duo_core_121.jpg)[2117x2304 - 2.16MB]
HD here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/NGC2244_FSQ106N_duo_core_HD.jpg)[1920x2090 - 1.74MB]

and the full field:

Enjoy the views. :thumbsup:

That's excellent Marc. Wide enough field to get the whole thing; very sharp resolution; nice contrast. Top shelf.

Wow, very sharp Marc.

[Nikolas]

Love the details Marc can't wait ti see the final result.

[atalas]

Nice one Marc :thumbsup:

[Ryderscope]

An excellent result Marc :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

Thanks guys. :thumbsup: Yeah it came together surprisingly well. I wasn't expecting that level of details. I haven't done anything different. Probably the conditions must have been pretty good that night. This run happened overnight and I was in bed. :zzz: Maybe I should do that more often and leave the rig alone. :lol:

[marc4darkskies]

You've got some great detail going on there Marc! :thumbsup: Excellent! Are you planning any RGB?

[multiweb]

Thanks Marcus.:thumbsup: I should have used the QHY8 which is an OSC for this. I realised after after I was set up. :doh: I might use these as a "LUM" and quickly shoot some Oiii and Ha separately for color.

[JA]

That is absolutely superb Marc :thumbsup:

The dendrils (gas whatevers) near the core in 1:1 crop can almost talk, with their sharp focus/detail set off against the smoother background gas, almost like a portrait photographer would isolate the subject by shooting wide open. Very cool- must try / do one day.

Thanks a lot JA. :thumbsup: Yes those boks are pretty dark and defined in front of the background neb. Heaps of little ones in the FOV. It's the first time I saw so many in my Rosette shots.

[Sunfish]

Heaps of boks. Spectacular detail. The Rosette was just in the right location as you say on Saturday and I tried a few images. Great to see what it looks like in your images with some quality hours.

Very sharp Marc, used as a lum with rgb colours will be spectacular , go for it

[multiweb]

Thanks Ray. :thumbsup: Yeah it's conveniently placed right now. With the RA extension on the G11 I can also pick it up earlier east of the meridian so I don't have to flip and can go to bed.



Thanks mate :thumbsup: Not sure what mixing RGB with a NB lum would do. Might look a bit funky. I think I'll stick to the original Oiii and Ha bandpass for the red and blue channels.

Thanks a lot Pete. :thumbsup: It was good to get out again on a cool night under the stars. :stargaze:

[multiweb]

Thanks Russ. :thumbsup: Making the most of the clear skies we're having in Sydney right now. Hopefully another one tonight then packing up before the rain on Tuesday.
