Description

My latest attempt to capture the Rosette Nebula, last night under a full moon with the ZWO Duo-Band filter. I got 1.3 hours of total integration time before it disappeared behind my house.

Rosette is an emission nebula 5000 light years away surrounding a cluster of stars (NGC 2244) whose UV emissions illuminate the nebula. The Rosette Nebula spans over 100 light years across.
