Description

A synthetic RGB of the Rosette nebula. Ha for red, OIII for green, and OIII + 20% Ha for blue (there's about 20% Hydrogen beta, which is blue, mixed with Ha). The bright core came out white, and I felt the bright red to white core seemed more natural to me. Plus the reduced color variation seemed to enhance the contrast and depth to my eye. I used the same data (except for the SII) as I used for the Hubble Palette version of this object.
