Rosette Nebula

Hi all,

I captured NGC 2244 and surrounding Rosette Nebula last night, I wanted to try something new with the 350D which was leaving ICNR off and taking darks at the end of the run. Temp ranged between 20 - 15 degrees during the whole session which wasn't ideal, as I think the temp of the darks were cooler than the light frames. Under close inspection I can see some small black spots which I believe is due to temp differences, not the greatest, but much better than my previous attempt at real darks with a DSLR... I'll get there one day

Anyway, image details.

  • 12 x 600 sec (light frames)
  • 12 x 600 sec (dark frames)
  • Baader modified 350D @ ISO800
  • ED80
  • WO 0.8x II
  • Hutech IDAS LPS-P2-48

Stacked in DSS, processed in CS4.

NGC 2244 700kb
