Hi,
Always thought the Rosette looked like a Christmas wreath, so appropriate for this time of year!
This image is actually a mosaic of two panels and cropped slightly. I did the mosaic in DSS, never quite gets it right.
The upper 5th of the image is a little odd with the stars, and it needed contrast adjustment in the same area.
I'll do it in ICE next time.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type 3 coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D plus cooler box., 2 x 18 x 150 subs at ISO 6400. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop Cs2..
Repro.
I've done a little more processing to bring out more contrast in the centre and more colour.
Cheers,
Justin.
