Rosette

Start of the Rosette. If I ever get another clear night I will add to it.

Looks pretty amazing already. Beautiful colors and depth.

Thanks, there must be plenty missing. It looks nothing like the others I’ve seen but that’s the way it came out after 6 hours.

This is a great start Fred! One thing I know, is that at least for me, the nebula's never look the same way twice. I like your start here.

It's amazing to me that you can just keep adding data from different nights. Does the place have to be pretty constant or can you move around a bit and align it in post? This is already gorgeous.

The Rosette is an amazing target, you can just keep pulling more amazing colors and details out of it the deeper you go. This is a great start - you should continue to add to it if you can, you won't be disappointed.

I just keep the image train the same (camera, telescope, etc.) and start from there the additional nights. Deep Sky Stacker does a decent job of combining all images. What’s really amazing to me is the mount automatic flips everything 180° when the scope nears the median to prevent the scope from hitting the mount. DSS even aligns the 180° images.
