Rosette Nebula
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...tro/Colour.jpg
Was messing around last night, mostly because it was one of those nights where nothing goes right. 
Anyway by the time I got around to actual imaging it was about 2am so I looked up at the Rosette Nebula..
Here is my efforts..

Stunning Benny.
Taken with the Tak right?
As stated above, it's the contrast that hits you.

Crisp with great contrast yet no loss of colour. Not bad for a night with 'issues'. A wonderful image.

Benny....This really is top shelf stuff.
Perfect focus, nailed the guiding. Beautifully deep S/N. Expertly processed.
Keep them coming .

WoW! cheers for all the positive comments guys! ever since my dad and I got into digital astro-imaging there has been alot of trial and error, I feel that especially with this image we are starting to get on the right track.
Next time the sky clears I think I'll do some more hours on this object and see if I can improve on it..
