The Rosette Nebula or NGC 2237 is a brilliant emission nebula in the constellation of Monoceros.

It's named for its flowery appearance. The center of the nebula lies an open cluster (NGC 2244) of bright young stars that formed about four million years ago from the nebular material and their stellar winds are clearing a hole in the nebula's center. The Nebula lies about 5000 light-years away and is about 100 light-years across. (source: APOD)

I have been wanting to image this for a while and is a good target for a (Hap Griffin) modified camera with an Astronomik UHC Clip Filter. Of course I had to wait for the right window as I do not have a full view of the night sky and the weather but a I did manage to get almost three of hours on it. Enjoy...

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.
