I've been trying to get something on 'film' from this nebula, on and off, for some time. It is really dim and definitely not one to do from suburbia. However, I have managed to finally scratch something together and after looking at it with different scopes for a month odd I'm posting what I got regardless

I finally had to use the FS-60 to get the FOV and it took a stack of about 4 images just see it and frame it, yet framing is still not right

This is about 7 x 10min each RGB subs only, stretched to hell and back which lost all the star colour, turned up the blue just to see it, plus a touch of neat image to smooth it out.

Definitely one for a dark site and it's back to NB from home for me I think. Here's a single 15min HA sub of rosetta with the same setup as a comparison

FS-60, QHY9, Baader 36mm Filters, EQ6 mount, fs-102/qhy5 pulse guided.
