Description

The Rosette Nebula imaged during the early and bitterly cold morning of December 17. 
The outer regions of the nebula contains many star forming regions and in the central parts we find the usual open cluster (NGC 2244) of young stars, many of them blazing away in the ultraviolet which ionizes the Hydrogen and Oxygen causing them to glow in their characteristic colors of read an blue-green, as well as carving out a cavity in the middle of the cloud with their fierce stellar winds.

Critique and suggestions welcome.
