Popular Post Alex Posted December 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2020 Thanks to help from AstronomyUkraine with PixInsight I have had a go at processing my most recent target, the Rosette Nebula.I would like to get some more Ha data to pull out more of the faint nebulosity but for now its done. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobdlbug Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 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 imageBryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Very nice, I like the unusually broad framing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Oh yes! that's cracking! I call this particular nebula the "behind the top of the trees nebula" but eventually I will get data for it. 30 mins/night at a time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 thats a lovely image, lots of detail and I like the colours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinS Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Cracking image, I particularly like the softer tone of the colours which drew my eye to the centre and through. May I enquire what application you used to create the boarder and text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 @MartinS Thanks :-) The borders and text are all added in Photoshop. I just increase the canvas size, fill it with black, add a light border around the image then add the text 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Holdsworth Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Beautiful image. I personally think the colour palette and more subtle tones is the best I've seen of the Rosette nebula. You've certainly nailed the processing on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
