Description

The Rosette nebula is a stunning diffuse hydrogen cloud surrounding a open cluster of stars in the middle of the frame that formed from condensing of the hydrogen cloud.

Locate in the constellation of Monoceros, the nebula is about 5,000 light years from earth and measures approximately 130 light years in diameter.

This was my first attempt to complete a narrowband project with the RASA 8. I used my 1.25 astronomik filters S2, Ha, O3 that surprisingly had very little vignetting.

I am very pleased with result, as this was a single night project. Goes to show the power of teh RASA at F2. More data may help over the next few months in S2 and O3.
