Kerry, the guiding looks pretty good to me, a FF would help with the corners. How did you process? -------------------- Clear Skies Lawrie Ultima 8 Atlas EQ-G ZenithStar 80 FD DSI Pro - Pro II Canon 350D Post Extras:       weatherandsky Carpal Tunnel Reged: 12/27/06 Posts: 1848 Loc: Ontario, Canada Re: Rosette Nebula with unmodded 40D [Re: lawrie]       #2221104 - 02/26/08 07:41 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Wow thanks everyone! I never expected this kind of response Eric the pics on your site definately confirm that it is possible... so I guess part of the key is to make sure you use a broadband LPR filter. Lawrie, for processing I stacked all my lights, darks and flats in Deep Sky Stacker, then I post processed in Photoshop using multiple layers. I start out with a basic levels adjustment and then follow with several curves adjustment layers (normal, luminosity, colour). I ran some noise reduction and on the jpeg version using Noels tools for horizontal banding, space and deep space noise. The nice thing about this nebula is that the dynamic range was not that high so processing was not too bad.
