First Light from ARO - Rosette Nebula

Hi Everyone,

Its taken a lot longer to produce first light than I thought, mainly due to a faulty green filter

My original first light target was going to be the witches head, but as you can see in the attachment below my green filter (Baader) is producing artefacts due to Rigel being so close in the field of view.
Any other place in the sky no problems, so until I have it replaced the Witch head will have to wait.
Having done over 40 hours on the Witch head in Nov/Dec last year I had to move to a new target, which turned out to be the popular Rosette.

Happy to say other than that, ARO is working perfectly

This is Rosette in LRGB (22:11:11:11) Hours.
Processed using PixInsight and PS for final touches.

Thanks for Looking!

Cheers
