I was going over some rather old data and fould some raw files of Rosette Nebula... which on reflection seemed like they needed a little work.

O.K it's a re-pro.....but... it is a little soggy in Sydney... again....

the result can be seen here (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery35.html)

Very purdy Peter! God how I wish you'd post full res :sadeyes:

Cheers, Marcus

[Hagar]

Very nice Peter. Detail is magnificent as usual. The Ha blend has lifted the red but the OIII area is still very well defined in the core.
I like this one.

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Doug ...the data was Ha RGB, no OIII photons were harmed during the capture of this image :)

Marcus! Ta mate. Full res?? What's that ? :)

[h0ughy]

I will take a dozen for Monday Peter -

technically i havent got a clue but it sure does look lovely!

[Peter Ward]

Thanks, but I'd go with Roses 'R Us...;)

[multiweb]

Very nice shot. I like the colours. :thumbsup:

[Paul Haese]

Cracker work. Very 3D look. Terrific work.:thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Marc, Paul.

The data has a bit of history (did OK at CWAS a few years back).

There is quite a bit structure which extends well beyond the frame....that would have been nice to add to the original data set.

.... maybe I need to move to the West coast for clearer skies!

[Peter Ward]

Troy Trev, Frank... Thanks.

....does this make me a deep, colourful, romantic? :)

[marc4darkskies]

No, but you sure like saturated vibrant colour ... just like me! :D:love:

Beautiful image Peter, great detail esp. around the dark patches of nebulae.

I'm with Marcus though - would love to see a full resolution view of this!

[Peter Ward]

Humm... Not exactly a tragedy, but have to agree it was more a Valentines day pin-up.

My PB?

I rather like this one: http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery70.html

Your M104 is breath-takingly beautiful

[atalas]

Sorry Fred,didn't want to offend anyone...from now on I'll only comment on an image If I like It.

I'll delete my post.

[gregbradley]

Very sharp Rose.

Yes, the M104 is a very spectacular image.

It reminds me of the Sci Fi novel "Ringworld".

Greg.,

I'm old enough and grumpy enough to be totally unfazed
by the PC brigade..... ( I don't think Fred is in that camp yet :D )

Feedback shouldn't be always positive. "Beauty, is in the eye..." as they say..... and constructive critiques are most welcome, otherwise you tend to stagnate & not progress much IMHO.

No offence taken or deletion necessary here.:)
