Hello all, and Merry Christmas.
SBIG have finally updated their home page to show some of the images that I and Jim Burnell have been taking with the STX beta units over the past few months. You can view those here (
http://www.sbig.com/sbwhtmls/stx_preview.htm), but the page does not tell you much about how they were taken, so I thought I would publish that here, and provide links to higher resolution and Ha versions.
So this is the Rosette Nebula:
Telescope: Takahashi FSQ106
Camera: SBIG STX
Filters: Baader 65mm HARGB
Mount: Paramount ME
Exposure Details: HAL(Syn)RGB 180:310:45:45:45 Minutes
The 40% sized version (1Mb) is here:

The Ha (1.1Mb) only version which shows the full extent of the nebulosity is here:

and if you want the full size, thats a 4Mb download here:

Thanks for looking as always.
best regards
Martin
