Folks,

We haven't had a posting of this object for a few days so I thought I'd oblige

While nodding off in my chair last weekend I'd asked my rig to capture some subs of the Rosette. This is 1 hour of luminance and 1 hour split between RGB, with the ASI1600 mono and Esprit 100.

Hope to collect some more photons this season to prop up the colours a bit

Cheers,
Dunk

That looks really nice dunk. Nice colours and stars.
The esprit range look like they're worth a serious try.

Aaaah Rosette season

Thanks Scott! I haven't performed any star wizardry on this, so they are how they look when the data is stretched...I should work on my star handling techniques

Having got that out of the way, I'm pretty happy with my little scope.

Thanks Mike! Fortunately, the mount/guiding behaved itself while I was snoozing...not one sub rejected, and mostly eccentricity ~0.4. A nice stable night by all accounts. Shame I missed it

Really nice Dunk! What exposures did you use? Ah so many targets coming up.

Very nice Dunk, you have your robot well trained.

A nice, warm looking Rosette. Well done, Dunk!

Thanks Simon! That was 48x 75s subs at unity gain for L, 8x 150s each for R/G/B...so the noise in the colour subs isn't as well controlled as I'd like...

But yeah so many good targets around now with a cooled mono sensor

Thanks Glen, wish I could say the trainer was more disciplined

Thanks Rick! Struggled with the colour mask with this one, so it's in the default colour scheme
