Rosette with genesis

[Garyh]

Hi all again in IIS,
Havn`t posted a image for a few weeks so thought I would put this up for comments.
Managed a few good nights once that large band of cloud decided to move North. Managed some deep M42 and some Rosette neb pics before the cloud returned yesterday... Always plenty of cloud but not much rain.
Anyways the image of the Rosette nebulae is taken with my televue genesis and is a stack of 12x5 min at iso 800 with 3 DF and stacked and processed in Ps CS. Would have had more to stack but silly me forgot to plug in my dew heater and lost the last 4 frames..

Size is around 300k in size..
All comments most welcome...

Happy new year to everyone out there in cyberspace!!
Cheers Gary

Thats another great image Gary.

Another 4 probably wouldn't have made a big difference anyway..try another 20 and you would see the difference.

I wish I could have been imaging the Rosette it's one I havn't imaged yet.

ps: I always D/L the images posted here (albeit that they're 150k jpegs!) and try and play around with them in PS to make them "better". Your image I didn't even try! Very nice stuff.

Nice one Gary!!
Good clour, stars look nice and natural.
Seeing a bit iffy ???
The BKG neb looks like it's lacking a bit of detail and contrast.
And there's still quite a few hot pixels left also.
JIMO though, hope you don't mind me saying.

Still a very nice image all the same and looks a sthough the Televue is a good match with the 3ooD.

Cheers and happy new year.
Rich

Thanks for the comments Guys.....
Yeah Rich, didn`t get aroumd to touching up the hot pixels..but have done so now, applied some noise reduction in Ps but just a little to take the edge of it.. I think much more images to stack might help a lot like 2hrs worth..The seeing was ok but the rosette was starting to get low in the west as the last image was after 3am. but I am pretty happy with the result. You should see my last go at it from last year!! at 1600 iso on a hot night....
I like the old genesis, its great for widefield stuff and with a fast f/ ratio it gets a good signal quick, just some false color is anoying, be real nice to have the NP 101!!! but thats lots of $$$$..
Cheers and thanks for the comments..
Gary....
