   Here's the shot of the Rosette Nebula (Caldwell 49) I got last night. Red Cat 51 and ASI2600MC using Askar Colormagic C1+C2 filters.

   Pulled out H, OIII, and SII channels out of the two image stacks and mapped them to the HOS palette, which I thought looked stunning. This is one of my favorite nebulae 😍

   These filters are cool AF. Even straight out of the camera the images looked really pretty. I'm very happy with them.

     I'm sure some of you are like, "holy crap, I had no idea there was anything that bright and colorful in space!"

     That's because it isn't lol. I use special light filters for narrowband, and it lets me have more fun with the colors.

     Here's what a true color image of the Rosette Nebula would look like (this isn't the best capture I've done, so accuracy is probably off a bit).

     Here's a cropped version because Mastodon decided to pixelate the crap out of full res one.
