Rosette Ha Widefield from Coonabarabran
Hello,
I am still slowly processing my photos from Coonabarabran 2 months ago.
This is a Ha widefield of the Rosette Nebula taken with a Nikon 180mm lens.
Exposure is 10 x 10 minute subs.
Photo has been slightly cropped.

Thanks for looking.
Ross.

That's a great view of it Ross, it's a lot bigger than you think.

Really nice wide field of this object. I'm beginning to like the black and white images more and more as some times RGB look a bit plastic to me as people tend to push the colours too much.

Beautiful image, Ross. I am just asking: why I never tried it?

Thanks Robin.
Yes, it is big. My photo is with a 180mm and I think I could use a 50mm lens and still fill the frame with that region.

Hi Bert. I'm glad you like it as your widefield and narrowband photos are a great inspiration.
I'm not sure how to calculate the field of view, but it's a 180mm lens onto a 4/3, 8300 Kodak chip.
Thank you.

Hi Justin. Glad you like it.
The amount of detail surprised me. I think shooting drom a dark site gives as much advantage to narrowband as it does to RGB.
Thanks

Thanks Allan.
I agree. Black and white has a special quality that can't be matched.

Hi Jorge.
It is a region full of so many objects and so much detail no matter what focal length you photograph at.
Give it a try with your equipment.
Thank you.

Hi Mike.
Glad you like the photo.
The faint streaming arms was a nice surprise.
I think photographing from a dark site makes a huge difference even for narrowband Ha photos.
Thank you.

I was surprised at the amount of detailed captured. I think the dark site had a lot to do with it.
