Description

It's the third time I've done the Rosette Nebula (NGC2237), on the other hand in this period at that time from the balcony there isn't much choice.
But I gladly do it again, it's a beautiful nebula and this year I took advantage of the wide field offered by the reduced ASKAR FRA500 (350 mm) to also shoot a piece of the tail.
To be honest I should have rotated the camera better!
Classic HOO processing with a touch of starry RGB color, even if in fusion I missed the colors of the stars in the core of the nebula (too bad).
I'm also attaching the not too elaborate RGB version for comparison (that's 14x180s per RGB channel).
In both cases I reduced the stars massively.

Processing and cosmetics in Pixinsight, fusion in PS.
