Carolyn's Rose Cluster - NGC 7789

[Astrodoc]

I've spent the whole summer shooting faint and bright nebulae and supernova remnants. But the beautiful open clusters of fall and winter are making their way back into my sky. Here's a wide-field shot of Carolyn's Rose Cluster, NGC 7789.

I think this is wonderful. Star color is excellent.

Ron,

Great image and great processing and as always a comprehensive write up on how you took and processed it, very helpful.

I have a question regarding your use of DBE, do you normalize or not? I do, but I am wondering if that is the best method.

I started to image NGC 7789 last night, but clouds preventing me doing two of the filter sets.

Thanks,

Mike

I do not normalize. The tool tip that displays when you hove over the Normalize checkbox explains the details of this option. In essence, no normalization tends to produce a more natural looking result.

Clear skies,
Ron
