Thank you Connor. I'm starting to get the hang of better exposures and post-processing... and learning how important plenty of dark images are with DSLR astrophotography.

I think this is one of the best shots I've seen of the Rosette. Outstanding work. Excellent dark structures, really excellent.

Thank you Starhopper. I had about 3 more hours on this image over the first one. Its interesting that the first image was much more red, especially on the inner circle of the nebula.
