Description

Fortunately able to capture over 4 nights, 1 hour of data per filter S H O to pull together this image of the Rosette Nebula which is locate in Monoceros at 5.5 K LY distance.  The large circular emission nebula surrounds a cluster of hot, young stars (NGC2244).

The bok globules make this nebula all the more interesting especially given their shapes of animals etc as well as the different structures which stand out in different parts of the structure.
