Description

I have tried many ways to process Ha-OIII data for Rosette nebula and keep coming back to the unusually colored version where Ha is used for green and OIII for blue with some red mixed in for brighter stars. So I included it in addition to a more conventional red/blue false color.

The image is a 2-panel mosaic taken over a few nights from my backyard. Seeing was mostly poor and collimation did not behave nicely but the result does not look bad at this scale.
