message: Greetings,
I was working on a presentation to my local astronomy club, which included mentioning the Rosette Nebula.  In the course of reviewing info on the Rosette I read about some research that challenges the description of this object as "spheroidal" in shape.  The research refers to computer modeling of the Rosette to help explain the process that led to its hollow central region.  The conclusion of the research is that the hollowing out of the center is best explained by the nebula having a thin disk shape, rather than a spheroidal, as described in the current Wikipedia article.  I read about this research at https://www.space.com/39695-heart-of-the-rosette-nebula.html, which includes a link to the original paper published in February 2018.

message: I was about to change the section beneath when I discovered that the more I digged in to the different NGC object the more different information there were about them. 
Some of them like NGC 2237 is clearly described as a nebula in the original description by the discoverer Lewis Swift (source Steve Gottlieb's
NGC/IC Observations Database Files - NGC 2000 thru NGC 2999 - part of the The NGC/IC Project from 1990-2015) and as almost the half part of the whole nebula - but Today it is a satellite cluster according to Simbad and the NGC 2239 cluster is more likely to be a part of the NGC 2237 cluster which it seems when you look at the article "Stellar population of the Rosette Nebula and NGC 2244" from 2022 - or should NGC 2239 have kept its status as a seperate cluster and NGC 2237 as a nebula. 
I hope others will take up the task - cause I'm done right now...
===The part that I stopped working on===
The complex has the following New General Catalogue (NGC) designations:
* NGC 2237 – A small open cluster called "The Satellite Cluster" associated with the nebulous region and west for the central cluster NGC 2244  (Also used to denote whole nebula)
* NGC 2238 – Part of the nebulous region (Obsolete designation)
* NGC 2239 – Part of the open cluster NGC 2244 (Obselete designation. Discovered by John Herschel)
* NGC 2244 – The open cluster in the center of the nebula (Discovered by John Flamsteed in 1690)
* NGC 2246 – Part of the nebulous region
