Description

This is a close-up view of a specific area of the Rosette Nebula which I just fell in love with.

This is 20 hours total. HA from the city Bortle 9, OIII from Bortle 4 about 1 hour away. I'm really in love with this close-up area there with that huge pillar of dust! No idea if it has a name though as I couldn't find any info on it.
