Caldwell 49 - Rosette nebula (SHO)

My little 80/480 apochromat is back in action. This time I chose a relatively bright target, the Rosetta Nebula.
The object itself is an emission nebula with the open cluster NGC2244 at its center. These central stars were and are being born from the material of the nebula and they excite the nebula.
Its distance is 5,200 light years, and its apparent size/diameter is 130 light years.
Part of the nebula is the dust cloud that crosses the nebula area and forms all kinds of interesting shapes. If you let your imagination go, you can see more than half a dozen animals in them. Good discovery ;)

2 years ago, this was one of my first pictures that I already said was acceptable. Then I took photos with a 120mm achromat. I tried again last year, then with this telescope, but still with a color camera
This year, I already have a mono camera, so I decided that it would be an SHO picture. Later, the image will also receive normal RGB stars, but unfortunately some accident happened with the red filter images and they did not turn out well.
I am waiting for the new clear sky to replace it.

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.
