MartinS Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi, here is the Rosette Nebula I have been working on. The data was captured the 28th-1st March while there was a full moon, still the individual frames were good and this is my first proper attempt at the Hubble pallet. Taken with the TS130/QHY268M and Astronomik 6nm filters, I believe my OIII and and SII frames were impacted by the moons light. Still working on the backspace distance, so the corners are less than ideal. This target needs a reducer with the TS130 and I am currently investigating alternatives that will suit this equipment combination, any suggestions?

Have you used any of the online FOV calculators that you can enter in your telescope brand and model number and also your camera brand and model and you can then experiment with adding a FR ? I use a 0.75x M63 Riccardi FF/FR with my AT106EDT APO - they also have a larger version M82 I think and there is also a TS FR that is matched to your telescope TS-Optics REFRACTOR 0.79x 3" ED Reducer Corrector for big sensors - unfortunately these FF/FR optics dont come cheap around £300 I like the colours in your Rosette - good depth - might be worth trying to lift the background as it look a little too black - perhaps protect your Rosette with a blurred mask and then lift the background - thats more a PS method , I'm not as familiar with the way to do this in PI Bryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thanks P Holesworth, Alex and Bryan for your positive comments, I have been considering the Riccardi reducer so that may be a way ahead for similar sized DSOs when using the 130 refractors. I have the previous rendition that retains more of the background. Perhaps I will rework the finish on that image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 A dark and ominous looking Rosette, I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Thank you Mark, I intend reworking the data to expose more of the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
