Description

The Rosette Nebula also known as Caldwell 49 is an ionized region of hydrogen in the constellation of the unicorn Monoceros. There's a cluster of stars at the center formed from the nebula itself.

Unlike my previous images which were calmer, I decided to challenge myself and take a different approach in utilizing a more aggressive style during processing. Every last bit of dynamic range was used between the shadows and highlights to provide maximum contrast. None of the highlights were actually clipped although they came pretty close. The main colours are red and blue although some additional yellow and pure white colours were also used to add contrast in the nebula's transitions.
