Astrophotography is another one of my hobbies.
The Rosette Nebula is located about 5200 Light Years from Earth and is about 130 Light Years in diameter.
I took this data back in January of 2022 but I just got around to spending some time processing the data and pulling it all together.
I used my Explore Scientific ED127 FCD-100 Carbon Fiber telescope with a .7 focal reducer for a focal length of 666mm @f5.25.
The mount is a Sky Watcher EQ6-R Pro, and the camera is a ZWO ASI1600MM Pro.
Total image time is 15.05 hours:
Combined in the SHO (Hubble Palette).
Sll (Sulfur 2) filter, 70 five-minute frames
Ha (Hydrogen Alpha) filter, 60 five-minute frames
Olll (Oxygen 3) filter, 51 five-minute frames
The final image is un-cropped except for removing the edge stacking artifacts.
