Description

First light Astrodon narrowband filters.

The Rosette Nebula

The Rosette Nebula is not the only cosmic cloud of gas and dust to evoke the imagery of flowers but it is the most famous.

At the edge of a large molecular cloud in Monoceros, some 5,000 light years away, the petals of this rose are actually a stellar nursery whose lovely, symmetric shape is sculpted by the winds and radiation from its central cluster of hot young stars.

Tech details:

Sky-Watcher NEQ 6 Pro tuned by HAS, Takahashi FSQ-106N, Moravian G2-8300 with Astrodon 3nm filters. 26x1800s Ha + 16x1800s [OIII].

Taken from my backyard observatory. Valencia (Spain).

Hope you like it.
