Description

Monoceros constellation is famous for its hydrogen rich emission nebulae, such as the Rosette and Cone Nebula, but it also features some beautiful dark and emission nebulae. The field of view in this photo shows an area where all these types of nebulae can be seen, from the hydrogen emission (here in red), emission nebulae like IC 2168, NGC 2245 and NGC 2246 (the blue areas) and also some scattered dark nebulae.Despite being in my list for some time, this photo was a last minute decision, while I was waiting for comet C_2022 E3 (ZTF). The same happened to Ha frames, taken with almost Full Moon - I wasn’t expecting much of it but it ended up being enough to enrich the photo.Photo shot at Santa Susana on 2023.01.28 (RGB) and Barcarena in 2023.02.06 and 2023.02.07 (Ha)Higher resolution here: https://flic.kr/p/2ogzqMR
