Description

The Rosette Nebula is a beautiful emission nebula in Monoceros. Star cluster NGC 2244 lies in the center. Diameter is 130 light years. Distance is 5,200 Light years.

On this image I used Starnett++ to make a starless image, which I enhanced with curves and various tools in Pixinsight. I then combined the Starless image with the original in Pixel math.

Seeing 8/10.

Description: I made a Range Mask to play with the saturation of some of the areas in the middle of the nebula. I wanted to create a bit of contrast.
