Very poor Rosette

[Rocket Pooch]

Hi,

This is a 6x10 minute stack ED80 QSI583 Skywatcher FF, no darks, flats or bias, of the Rosette in Ha, taken from swampville campsite, my guiding was all over the place, in the morning I found out my mount level had changed (must have been the excellent road building).

Well, i would be well pleased with that Chris. I think it is great!

My guiding was well off too, must have been the uneven ground.

How can you be disappointed with an image like that.
I would be more hacked off that someone was cleaning my caravan carpet with Chilli Bean soup, while I was out in sub zero temperatures, taking great images.

Chris,

That looks good to me - very crisp detail there.

I don't know why you describe this as "poor", I think it's a very good Rosette.
Especially considering

no darks, flats or bias

It's an excellent Rosette. I'd be chuffed with that.

Nice and crisp.

what are you using to stack the image, and what are the settings you are using.?

I would have sent you my rosett so you could combine the images, but i forgot to reset t :roll:he chip to full size.

That's a very good Rosette Chris, nice and sharp.  A smidgen of drift maybe due to the PA changing through the night but I certainly can't see any traces of poor guiding from that frame size.  I must say I'm impressed with the flattener, it seems to have done a really excellent job.

Hi all,

Thanks for the kind comments, but I really do know I could have done a lot better with this, the guiding went odd after the 1st 3 frames and the raw data was about 20% of what I would expect, but it gives me a benchmark for next year.

Mac, I stacked this in AIP, but Maxim and AA will dot he same, it was a Sigma combine.

P.S. Tony you will get the bill.
