Description

The Little Rosette Nebula - SH2-170, in the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen. About 2/3 of a full moon in width and similar to the larger and more well known Rosette Nebula in the constellation Monoceros the Unicorn. An emission nebula in our Perseus Arm about 7,500 LY away.

With my setup the Ha and SII signal was very similar in strength and distribution, even the IFN had a similar pattern. OIII was concentrated at the centre.
