Caldwell 49 - Rosette Nebula in SHO

Link: https://youtu.be/_Hc3239qJr8

I took 14.7 hours of exposure on the Rosette nebula. This one is a special one and is dedicated in memory of one of the best people I've ever met, Hajj Rossette. Hajj Rossette was my wife's grandfather, and a WWII veteran. He was drafted at 17 years old having only immigrated to the United States for a few years from what was then Syria and now Lebanon. He was inducted into the U.S. army at Camp Dodge, Iowa and went to basic training at Camp Roberts in California. Eventually he would go to Europe as part of the The Thunderbolt, 83rd Infantry Division (the anti-tank platoon) and join the invasion of Normandy a few weeks after D-Day. To say he was an awesome guy would be an understatement... you could get war stories at any time or he would break out in song randomly or he would teach you morse code or talk about ham radio. He spoke of valor, and gallantry and facing a ferocious enemy. But more importantly to a lot of people who knew him, he was a reminder that America is just as much for the Arab immigrants as it is for anyone else. Recently I found a letter he sent from Lebanon to a newspaper in Nebraska dated March 24 1949 where he starts off with "This letter is from a Lebanese born, but I'm proud to be an American." And not to get political because this is not the place for it, but I think too often these days there's a longing to look back and grasp for those times. Though I think people get it wrong, because that generation fought so that the world could progress and move forward and be better than it was... not because the world was perfect, but because they recognized that it needed work.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
