After all these years of shooting this target (5), I was finally able to gather my own SII data for a full narrowband data set. This image consists of 4hrs of Ha, 4hr of Oiii data and 2 hours of SII data. I gathered 2hrs last night under hazy conditions with a 72mm doublet. The halos in the Sii channel were quite atrocious due to said haze so it took a lot of clone stamping to rid my photos of these halos. I’ve created two different palettes here as you can see. I have ultimately chosen the rendition without the green tones. Although a bit more unique, the rose looks better in two tones. Do you guys have a preference??
I hope you all enjoy!

Nice renditions, Tegan. I am a fan of the bluer version. The palette is more pleasing to my eye, the globular stand out better to me. Congrats on getting your Sii data at last!
Very nice Teagan. Congrats on winning today's APOD!

Hi Teagan. A beuatiful set of Rosette Nebula in SHO narrow band images. I too like the first version better. A little more contrast and details in the capture processing. Thanks for taking the time to put these up on here for us to enjoy Teagan, and congratulations on winning the TSSAPOD Award today (wow, number 10).
