NGC 2244 with the Dwarf 3--A 6 hour integration.

This image is just over six hours of integration time on the Rosette Nebula. Stacked and processed in Siril with multiple VeraLux scripts with finak tweaking in Affinity. This image was taken with the Dwarf 3. Compare it with the last image I posted, captured with the Seestar S50.

NGC 2244 with the Seestar S50--a 6-hour integration

It was stacked an processed in Siril, with Cosmic Clarity and multiple VeraLux scripts. I tweaked contrast and brightness in Affinity Photo. If you click and zoom on this image, it shows a wealth of detail that the S50 captured--impressive for such a short total integration time. I also processed the image for a more "natural" look, resisting the tempation to boost the saturation and change hues 🙂

M 106. A 10-Hour Integration with the Seestar S50

This is a 10-hour integration if M 106 taken with the S50. Stacked and processed in Siril (VeraLux scripts and Cosmic Clarity). Tweaked in A...
