The Satellite cluster NGC 2244 at the heart of the Rosette nebula

The Satellite cluster NGC 2244 at the heart of the Rosette nebula. 2 hours worth of 2 minute exposures were captured along with calibration frames with AstroDMx Capture using a Prototype SVBONY SC715C OSC uncooled camera. A 60mm Altair ED APO refractor was used and an L-Enhance filter. The data were calibrated, stacked and partly processed in PixInsight and further processed in GraXpert, Cosmic Clarity, Gimp, ACDsee and G'MIC. Four renderings are presented here.
