Description

The Rosette Nebula is an emission nebula found near the constellation Monoceros. Named for its resemblance to a rose, it is well positioned for northern hemisphere astrophotographers at this time of year. Imaged on the night of 2/14/20 from my home in rural Pennsylvania, USA under Bortle class 4 skies.
