Description

First attempt on checking the new setup with a Skywatcher 150PDS Newton on an iOptron GEM28, a ZWO Asi 533MC with Optolong L-eXtreme dual narrowband filter and INGIDO Framework.
After having used a self-modified DSLR and a Star Adventurer for several years now, it is time to try something new.
Because of the small sensor, the image does not cover the whole nebula, so the focus is more on NGC2238. For now there are no flats for calibrating, but I was surprised of the data you get out of 1h of subs with an illuminated parking lot nearby.

Wikipedia
The Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49) is an H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter.

The complex has the following New General Catalogue (NGC) designations:
- NGC 2237 – Part of the nebulous region (Also used to denote whole nebula)
- NGC 2238 – Part of the nebulous region
- NGC 2239 – Part of the nebulous region (Discovered by John Herschel)
- NGC 2244 – The open cluster within the nebula (Discovered by John Flamsteed in 1690)
- NGC 2246 – Part of the nebulous region
