Description

Rosette Nebula - NGC 2244 in SHO (Hubble Color Palette). This image was taken between three nights. Colors are created with narrowband filters assigning Red to Sulphur data, Green to Hydrogen data and Blue to Oxygen data. It took 8 hours to complete it. Very happy with the results!

The Rosette Nebula is a large spherical H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter.
