Object: NGC2237 The Rosette Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Monoceros
Camera: STL11000M	Scope: Tele Vue NP101is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B	Exposure: 16x8m:6x8m:6x8m:7x8m	blank
NGC2237 - The Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. This image is a composite of a stack of 16 eight-minute exposures taken through a hydrogen-alpha filter and stacks of 6 or 7 eight-minute color exposures taken through red, green and blue filters using an STL11000M CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP101is 4" f/5.4 refractor. The Hα luminance channel is shown in the image below. The color channels were balanced using AIP4WIN's Color Calculator using G2V star calibration. The final image was composited using the G2V color balance. This image has been cropped and resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.

Object: NGC2237	Rosette Nebula - Emission Nebula	Const.: Monoceros
Camera: SXV-H9	Scope: Tele Vue TV-60is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B	Exposure: 8x8m:5x8m:5x8m:5x8m	TeleVue 0.8x Focal Reducer
NGC2237, the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. This image uses a stack of 8 eight minute exposures shot through a Hydrogen-alpha filter for the luminance channel and stacks of 5 eight minute filtered exposures for the red, green and blue channels. The exposures were acquired using an SXV-H9 CCD camera on a Tele Vue TV-60 60mm f/6 refractor equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer. The exposures were calibrated, defect-corrected, stacked and automatically color balanced using AIP4WIN. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1392x1040. This is the first-light image from the Tele Vue TV-60is, and is also the image we used for the cover of the 2nd edition of The Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing.

Hydrogen-α
Object: NGC2237	Rosette Nebula - Emission Nebula	Const.: Monoceros
Camera: SXV-H9	Scope: Tele Vue NP-101	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 9x8m	TeleVue 0.8x Focal Reducer
NGC2237, the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. This image is a stack of 9 eight minute exposures shot through a Hydrogen-alpha filter. The exposures were acquired using an SXV-H9 CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP-101 4" f/5.4 refractor equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer. The exposures were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked using AIP4WIN. A few new experimental tools were applied to enhance the structure. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1392x1040.

 

Object: NGC2237	Rosette Nebula - Emission Nebula	Const.: Monoceros
Camera: SXV-H9	Scope: Tele Vue Genesis SDF	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): IR block	Exposure: 64x45s	TeleVue 0.8x Focal Reducer
NGC2237, the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. This image is a stack of 64 fourty-five second exposures using an SXV-H9 CCD camera on a 4" f/5.4 TeleVue Genesis SDF refractor equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer. The image was stacked, and a Gaussian Histogram Shaping was applied using AIP4WIN. It has been resampled down from its original size of 1392 x 1040.
