NGC 2244 Rosette Nebula

Hi All,

I thought I would post my first attempt at the Rosette Nebula from this last weekend. This image is composed of:

23 x 5 min guided subs
12 x Dark Frames
20 x Bias Frames

I took a large amount of bias frames as it was a mild night and from the later subs you coudl see a lot of thermal nmiose in the photo. Luckily the bias frames have removed this in the stacking process.

The equipment used was the Skywatcher Black Diamond ED120, AZEQ6 mount, Canon EOS 600D (modded), Orion ST80 guidescope and Skywatcher Synguider.

Stacked the image in DSS and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Anyway pretty pleased with this. I'm happy for an7yone to give me any tips on how I could improve the processing.

Regards,

Tom
