Ngc 2237, the Rosette nebula is a very difficult catch, because it's mainly emitting H-alpha rays that are blocked by camera IR-cut filter. Then, it's only visible during winter's nights with clouds, rain, wind, storm, etc. I shot maybe one hundred of long exposures. Of which 69 raw files I kept. Of which 8 only that I was able to stack together to get this fine picture just this afternoon, finally !
