NGC 2237 & 2244 - Rosette Nebula (diffuse) & open cluster

9-frame photo mosaic taken over 3 different nights (and it still doesn't adequately cover the entire nebula). Still, this and the above Orion Nebula mosiac are possibly the two "masterpieces" of the trip, and so presented first. Below you will find a reconstruction of the 9 original photos in the order they were taken. Notice a couple BARELY provided adequate coverage for proper blending, but at least there were no gaps.
