Description

This is a new target for me.  Still so many things to see out there.  This is The Little Rosette Nebula, or SH2-170. It is an H2 region in the constellation Cassiopeia.  The nebula is approximately 7500 light years from Earth.  Not as well known as its much larger version, The Rosette Nebula, this nebula, although it looks very similar, is much smaller, and far dimmer.
