Description

The Rosette Nebula, so beautiful, and huge in space!  It is so big (how big is it??) that it has a bunch of names that make up the whole region!  This was one of the first nebula I imaged a bunch of years ago.  I remember looking at my subs, and saying, where is the nebula.  That was when I learned that it is in the processing that you get to see what's there! What a shock when all of the colors showed up!!  I almost did not set up last night, as clouds were around, and there is a big Moon out there right now.  But I really wanted to test my new OGMA AP26CC camera again.  I am impressed.  Even with a full Moon, with this camera, and my Antila triad RGB filter, I was able to get most of the main nebula.   There is a lot of surrounding nebula, but I will need a much darker, and more stable night, to bring those out.  Anyway, continue to be very happy with this camera! Clear skies!
