Hi all. I had clear skies last night, so like an idiot, I decided to try to image the Rosette. I don't let small issues like an almost full moon get in my way! :S At any rate, this image required lots of processing to get rid of the gradients, but it turned out OK I guess.
Cheers and Clear Skies!
Tyler

BTW - My autoguider wouldn't work last night, so this image was composited from 40x2 minute frames, unguided. 20 minutes each LRGB

Very good result. No doubt it would have been jaw-dropping without the full moon, but I'm amazed it turned out this well with one. Great job.

Hi all. Thanks for all the nice comments. I might try tonight to add some Ha data to use as a luminance layer. I'll keep you posted as to my success.
