The Rosette Nebula

[gregbradley]

Another gem hiding in my hard disk.

I really like the type of images the AP Honders and FLI Proline 16803 combine to make. Very flat field, like a large FSQ type image.

I am happy with this Rosette as its proven difficult in the past to get a nice colour balance.

Its worth checking out the original size (largest) as its a bit of a spacewalk.

That's a ripper, Greg, congrats! Beautifully sharp, great colour, smooth without looking artificial.

Thanks Martin. I was happy with the colour. It has a touch of O111 in it as well but not a lot from that. Otherwise it can look just all red.

Thanks very much Lee. I am quite happy with it.

Very special. Well done Greg
I just enjoyed a close up view of the core area, which would make a great image in its own right

Thanks JA. Yes the detail in the core area came out really well in the Ha.

Nicely done Greg - lovely image

That's a lovely Rosette by any measure, Greg.
The large size was indeed well worth checking out.

Excellent Greg. You’ve managed to get a nice contrast between the different regions without overdoing the saturation. Top shot!

Hehehe, Thanks. There's lots of cool stuff there still to process. I had an issue with eyestrain at one point and I was not processing images but still acquiring data. I solved the eyestrain issue so apart from spending all day processing its not an issue.

Thanks Markas. I really like the AP Honders and Proline combo. The large Proline 16803 seems to suit that scope better than the 16200 sensor.

Yes its quite immersive. Its the lovely flat field of the Honders. When everything is all adjusted it definitely creates a nice look.

Thanks Geoff. Yes that's what has been difficult to capture in the past.

It's upside down to what I'm used to but other than that it's a very good result Greg. The colour and details are great! Hard to go wrong with that setup, it's a real photon sucker!

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Wow, what a nice image of the Rosette Greg Some interesting structures in the middle of the Rosette - I do not recall seeing those before. Wondering if there are some other gems you might be hiding away from us...

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

There are some passages about half-way to 5 o'clock and half way to 1 o'clock that are magnificently processed and extremely three-dimensional.

Colourblind Mike had to interchange the red and green channels to see what a superb image it is. A very high Wow factor.

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

A lovely Rose Greg, colour is beautiful and such a magnicient object this one. Perhaps just a smidgen too much smoothing/noise reduction?..feels like some of the details have been massaged out just a little but hey, that's pretty minor really, nice work
