Description

The Rosette Nebula SH2-275

This nebula can be described as a thin, layered disc of stellar gasses with a central hole blown out by the stellar winds from NGC2244, the central cluster of young stars

I like the look of the hole in this image where you can see through the layer of Oiii and the plasma bubble to the Ha on the other side.  The Oxygen rich layer appears to be sandwiched on both sides by Ha.  

Quick factoids: 

5000 ly away 130ly across 
Found in the constellation Monoceros 
Large star in foreground is Mon12 a k class giant star 
Three behind are O type hypergiant stars, 
burning at 30-50,000K, 
With a mass of around 10,000 suns and around 400,000 brighter than our sun
Together their radiation and solar winds are superheating the bright blue plasma bubble to somewhere around 5 million Kelvin in temp
There are over 2500 new stars forming in the top left quadrant alone 
Also known as the Skull nebula 
The dark dust clouds in the foreground are known as Bok globules
