NGC 2244 (also known as Caldwell 50 or the Satellite Cluster) is an open cluster in the Rosette Nebula, which is located in the constellation Monoceros. This cluster has several O-type stars, super hot stars that generate large amounts of radiation and stellar wind. The age of this cluster has been estimated to be less than 5 million years.

This image is narrowband and processed as an SHO image. Meaning Sii was used for Red, Ha for Blue, and Oiii for Green. This gives the center a cool feel.

Oiii = 60 * 60s = 1h
Ha  = 60 * 60s = 1h
Sii   = 60 * 60s = 1h
3h 1st night

Oiii = 20 * 3m = 1h
