TOP 5 ROSETTE NEBULA IMAGES
We get sent a LOT of images to be published within the pages of the Amateur Astrophotography Magazine.
Here are just 5 of our favourite images of the Rosette Nebula we have been sent.

The original version was a bit oversharpened, so I tried to tone in down with my older version of the Rosette in HST
The Rosette Nebula (Caldwell 49 or NGC 2237) is a large, circular H II region located in the constellation Monoceros . Open cluster's NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) stars have been formed from the nebula's matter.
The Rosette Nebula consists of 5 parts NGC 2237,NGC 2238,NGC 2239,NGC 2244,NGC 2246. The cluster and nebula are about 5,000 light-years from Earth and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter. The nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses
I used LRGB data that I finished collected last night with older data.
First the older data used:

*Red- 7x10 minutes
Ha-3x20 minutes(as green)
OIII-3x20 minutes(as blue)
SII-3x20 minutes(as red)
LRGB
Telescope: 11" Celestron EdgeHD w/Hyperstar (F/2)
Camera: QHY23M
1/2/16,1/27/16
LUM- 33x120sec
Green-14x120sec
Blue-14x120sec
Red- used HA- 9x300sec from Hyperstar & Red from QHY9M/AT65EDQ( 7x10 minutes)
(5h 57m total)

Rosette Nebula - Bok Globules. Image by Steve Martin
Bok Globules are pockets of dark cosmic dust and gas, usually containing new born protostars, on their way to becoming fully fledged main sequence stars. The Bok Globules here are being created by the interstellar wind and radiation being blasted by the open cluster NGC2244 at the centre of the nebula.
