Description

This is my version of the wellknown Rosette nebula, or NGC 2237. It is located just east of Orion in constellation Monoceros at 5 000 lightyears distance
and it is about 130 ly in diameter.

This is the first time I have used Pixinsight for image processing. Due to that, I did it in several versions and compared results
with my normal processing routines. I would welcome any comments on the different revisions. In my previous bi-color images I have
been having problems with bllue fringes on the stars, and in this case I have taken several measures to avoid them, such as reducing exposure
time and processing the nebula data separately with stars removed.
