Description

I Finally managed to get time on the Rosetta Nebula last weekend after 5 months of bad weather. Properly testing out my new camera I am very impressed with this OSC and how well it did on this image in such a "short" amount of time.

I had two really perfectly cold and moonless nights, after freezing my *@# off setting up the rig in -11c temperatures, I am happy that I have the asiair, eaf, and the possibility to control everything from the warmth of my house after the initial setup. The second night was easier as i only had to attach the telescope to the mount and with just a slight modification to the polar alignment i could get back inside quicker. As for the picture I'm very happy with the outcome, I used all calibration frame types except dark flats but to be honest I dont think I needed them anyway. Still the perfectionist in me doesnt like the way the stars turned out and possibly should have checked more than just one preview screen while sharpening, also the picture is not deconvoluted because I was getting strange blobs of colour that I couldnt correct with deringing or denoise, lessons learned for next time and more work to put in, but otherwise totally happy, and think for an OSC its the best picture to date.

Hope you Enjoy!
