Description

NGC 2237, the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros, is an emission nebula about 5,200 ly away.  Captured in Ha, Sii and Oiii.   This image discloses a lot more stars than I like.  But if your wife says, "Keep the stars," you do as you are told.  After all, she lets you buy all those "little black things."
