Centred in the Rosette Nebula is this open cluster shot as per the following

g11 Mount, 12 inch newt, ed80 guidescope, modified 330d cannon, 25-19 degrees temp dropping,seeing average

processing includes levels ,curves, minimum filter,hue- saturation, reblending with stretched original using hard light blending option to reinstate original star colours to some degree. finished off with a selective contrast mask(very sparingly)

i have also included the original stacked but unprocessed version - i would be interested to know how the Ha responsiveness of this camera compares to other cameras as it would be nice if there was more there in the first place. given theres been a bit of rosette posted by others maybee someone could comment.

cheers for now.
