This is a milestone image Leon. You're really bringing it all together now. Top image indeed. Keep up the fantastic work.

Many thanks guys, I do appreciate your comments, and Jase, it is coming together i think, I have never combined two nights of imaging into one, quite and interesting experiment.

Thank you for your vote of confidence.

Leon

I really like the added frames mate. I reckon if you were enjoying it, and the quality is better than the night before, then of course, it is worth it. Now do the same image for the next six months and see if it's worth it...

Nice images Leon, good depth and detail.

I always like the cluster at the centre and look to see how well it stands out. I always think that the cluster is what defines the Rosette Neb.

Cheers

Jen, you really crack me up sometimes, yea I have to admit when I'm alone outside I do tend to talk to myself sometimes, if it all goes bad I even swear at myself, and call myself a stupid, #%&#$%(*, plus some.

Thanks Barry, I did enjoy doing this two in a row night imaging, and then combining the lot, actually I was a bit proud of myself for giving it a go, and it all came together.

Yep Ric, I agree, it certainly is a great object to image, many thanks for your comments.

Leon
