Description

As I climb the learning cliff that is this hobby, I decided it was time to try an "Epic" project. Doing some digging I found that the Rosette Nebula has some pretty colourful neighbors but they aren't often imaged together. So fighting the horrible, Canadian winter weather I spent 6 freezing nights in January and February imaging 3 panels of the Rosette Nebula and it's neighbor the Cone Nebula with all of it's massive surrounding structures. The image really needs about double the integration that I have but weather plus how hard it is for me to image to the south (with my equipment setup in my front yard) limited me to around 7 hours per panel with an old DSLR (Sony A7R). The edit was a challenge and is far from perfect but hopefully it is something you can enjoy.
