#RosetteNebula

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
The Rosette nebula!! A year ago I couldn’t even imagine getting a shot like this, or not even in October when I first captured it! The Optolong L-eNhance has greatly helped achieve this, along with the auto guider which allows me to not worry about backlash and take even longer exposures that the filter allows.

Over 3 nights last week I got over 110 5-minute subs which got me close to 10 hours of data total! The data is also very clean and it allowed me to stretch a lot of faint details from the center of the nebula without bringing out too much noise.

116x300s lights (9.67 hours) at ISO 1600 with darks, flats, and biases stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, edited in Siril, GraXpert, and noise reduction applied in Adobe Lightroom mobile.

#Caldwell 50, also known as NGC 2244, is an #openstarcluster located within the #RosetteNebula in the #constellation #Monoceros, approximately 5,220 light-years away from Earth, best observed during its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around the end of December.

This is probably my best deep sky image yet...

Finally the moon phase allowed me to make better use of my new dedicated astrocam.
So I decided to go for the rosette nebula, since it fits nicely in the field of view at 400mm

I used this image also as a training object for better calibration and post processing using APP, Siril, Starnet++ and Darktable to combine their strengths.

I think this is my favourite nebula photo that I've taken to date. I shot this earlier this month from my back garden here in Wales. Everything came together just right for this one image of the beautiful #RosetteNebula (or #NGC2237).

Shot using a #zwo 533mcpro through a #WilliamOptics #Zenithstar81 attached to a #Skywatcher HEQ5Pro mount
