The Rosette Nebula SHO

After 2 years of astrophotography, this is my second attempt to photograph this wonderful nebula and star-forming region in our galaxy.

Best regards and clear skys

For your information (source: ESO-European Southern Observatory):

The spectacular Rosette Nebula, a glowing hydrogen-rich cloud, is located some 4,700 light-years away toward the constellation of Monoceros.

In the middle of the nebula shines the open star cluster NGC 2244, full of massive young stars only about a million years old. The intense ultraviolet radiation produced by these newborn stars illuminates the surrounding belts of hydrogen, making the whole region glowing ( normaly red). Powerful stellar winds have carved a hole in the centre of the Rosette Nebula, allowing the young stars to peek out from their native environment. These vigorous winds also cause the compression of the interstellar medium, thus triggering dense clouds of gas to collapse under their own weight to form new stars. This star-forming process will continue over the next few million years as the nebula dissipates.

NGC 2244 is easily seen even with small telescopes, though the Rosette Nebula itself is more difficult to spot and requires telescopes with a larger diameter. The nebula measures over 100 light-years in diameter, and the total mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses.

John Flamsteed, an English astronomer, discovered this remarkable object around 1690.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
