Description

NGC 2237 (the Rosette Nebula) lives up to its name. The nebulosity is difficult to see through the eye piece of the telescope but is picked up well when taking longer multiple exposures. This shot is comprised of 16 images taken at ISO 800 @ 300 seconds per image. Also prominent is the open star cluster NGC 2244 located in the centre of the nebula complex.
