Image consists of 30x240sec ISO 800 images stacked in DSS. Digital development in Images Plus and tweaked in Photoshop CS3 with a little Gradient Exterminator and Noels Tools. The resized crop doesn't do the Rosette justice.

Amazed how much detail a little refractor can achieve. The resized one has too many artifacts.

Second seems to have a bit more depth to it.
