Description

This is a large crop of the Rosette Nebula. The image is fairly noisy due to only 1 hour of integration time. Processed very quickly and roughly in Pixinsight. A lot more work needs to be done on this image.

The Rosette Nebula is at a distance of about 5,000 light-years from Earth. With a diameter of about 130 light-years, this structure is massive. The cropping was done to illustrate and give a feel as to the actual size of this nebula.
