Description

This is the first light for my RASA 11, so decided to try out the big bright Rosette in RGB and SHO in one clear cold evening with fairly good seeing.  It’s a giant molecular cloud just east of Orion’s belt that has tons of good signal in hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen.  The little cluster inside is NGC 2244.   This nebula sits about 5200 light years away from us and it’s big, about 130 light years across.  

I'm really happy with it, hopefully can upgrade my camera someday Date:  January 21, 2022
