A few "technical" glitches delayed the start of my imaging session and I only got two 15 minute exposures of the Rosette before it went behind a tree. This was a test of a Ha filter I just picked up and I'm a bit surprised how good it turned out considering the limited exposure time I have.

SV105
QSI516ws
Astronomik 13nm Ha filter
Image size reduced about 50%

Thanks for taking a look.

Hi Eric,
Yes, HA is very good for details huh? Now just add some more and the RGBL and you are set! smile
Here is my last Rosette in HA only, 10 x 6 minute subs, to give an idea of the detail that just HA will provide on that object. Amazing amount of stuff visible in that object, I love it.
