The Rosette Nebula, NGC 2237, is a large and amazing HII region located in the Monoceros constellation. The nebula lays some 5.000 light years away from us and measures 130 light years in diameter spanning over 5 times the angular diameter of a full moon.In the core of the Rosette Nebula can we find the open cluster NGC 2244, composed by hot young O-type stars that sculpts, with its strong winds and radiation, the entire nebula creating this characteristic and aesthetic shape. This region evokes imagery of several African animals.

This image, with a total exposure of 13.5 hours, is the result of combining narrow band data, with the use of [SII], Hα and [OIII] filters, with broadband data, to give a natural color to the stars with the use of R, G, B filters (now removed for a starless image).

To better show the emission data that comes from this active star forming region, a variation of the HOO palette has been used to enhance the entire structure of this nebula. The percentages used to compose this image have been:

RED channel: 30% [SII] + 70 % Hα ; GREEN channel: 20% Hα + 80% [OIII] ; BLUE channel: 20% Hα + 80%

This new processing starless image (April 2022) gives to the nebula some better contrast enhancing some of the inner structures.

[SII]: 9x600"

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
