Rosette Nebula

Hi,

This is the first image processed using my SBIG 8300 with self guiding filter wheel. I used my W/O 110 Flt and stacked and processed in Photoshop.

I used a technique described by Rob Gendler to blend the Hydrogen Alpha with the red channel on top of the Ha and I had 80% Ha and 20% R as the opacity setting and then flattened this image to stack with the green and blue channels and then processed as normal. I do not have much data but always intended for this to be the learning image before I go on to longer images.

Time was 40 minutes Hydrogen Alpha (20 min subs) binning 1x1 and 20 minutes RGB (5 min subs) binning 2x2. Darks applied but no flats and taken from my backyard in suburbia on the sunshine coast. Astrophysics 1100 mount used.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. .
