Folks,
Fellow amateur Charlie and myself took this image of The Rosette Nebula last Friday night.

Consists of 6 x 10min at 800iso and 1 x 20min at 400iso using an unmodded Canon 350D with ICNR. ED80 with Orion Broadband DSF.

I will at some stage attain more images for stacking.

Outside temp was a nasty 25deg, not good for a DSLR but anyway I was astounded to how big this object really is.

Stacked with DSS and processed in CS3 with minor cropping. (I need a field flattener) with some noise removal using Noise Ninja.

Please comment with constructive criticism as I need the practice.

Paul
