Description

Here is the up-close Red Heart of the Rosette Nebula. This is a two-panel mosaic with as much detail as I could squeeze out of my 20" Planewave scope. You notice the blue-green ring around the heart. When processing these data it was an intentional choice. My thinking was that this is the primary emission area for Olll (blue green). Also there should be some H-beta (green) emission which contributes to the green tinge of that region. Others may have a different interpretation of this region.

The stars in this image are HOO, with some adjustment from Pixinsight.
