Description

Commonly call the Rosette.  I rotated the Rosette to emphasize or show the "Skull".  Originally I had the core a ghoulish blue green color for the skull, then one of my astrophotography mentors, Anis suggested running SCNR for a different look and I really liked it and this is what you see.  I only ran SCNR at 60%.
