Rosette nebula reprocess using Registar
The Rosette nebula reprocessed using the proper procedure in Registar.

Playing with Registar to composite NFO data
Registar was used to align old Rosette and Monkey Head nebula data with that taken recently to form a composite image with even more data 🙂 Here are the results.
One of the reddest naked-eye stars in the night sky
One of the reddest naked eye stars in the sky this is 119 Tauri in the constellation Taurus – and it has a nice companion blue star for some dramatic colour contrast. Taken on the clear Moonless evening of 16th … Continue reading
