The Rosette Nebula

Recommended Posts

I really like this image of the rosette nebula for several reasons, the colour palette is 'Hubble-ish' but a lot more subtle than some of the lets say 'vibrant' interpretations, I think that the browns/golds and the transitions from outer nebula toward the center give a depth that is not always seen in rosette images and the central area in pale blue/cyan is inspired. I also like that you have not over darkened the 'boks' so they dont overpower the image and finally the stars are amazing, especially the center cluster that I have always 'blown out' in my processing in broadband RGB rather than narrowband.

If I can get close to creating an image like this of the rosette when I get around to putting my 'scope on the mount rather than my samyang and drag myself away from widefield - well I would be extremely proud of such an image.

Really excellent image

Thanks Bryan

Really appreciate the feedback.

The Rosette is my Favorite nebula so I have spent quote a while trying to get this looking how I want it, I am still very much in the early stages of Narrowband processing.

I would like to try and get more of the fainter nebulosity but that will need more data and at the moment I need a boat with all the rain we are having !
