Today I'm trying to make some good use of my spare time. Found a copy of the program Nebulosity laying around. Thought it might come in handy so I tried to reproces NGC 2237. This nebula is a stellar nurcery at 5000 lightyears distance and measures about 130 lightyears across. The hot gas within the bright nebula is interlaced with wisps of dark interstellar clouds, making it one of the most beautifull objects in the sky.
