Description

I didn't intend on imaging this object when I went outside tonight. I was going to try and image M81 and M82 with my Orion 6 Inch Newt. I've never imaged these objects with that scope. However after I got everything set up M81 was still not high enough in the sky. So I decided to image NGC 2244 while waiting for M81 to rise a little higher in the sky. I had never imaged NGC 2244 with my 6 Inch Newt. I liked the color I was getting when I started stretching the data so I decided not to manipulate the color at all. I left the color just as it was when I finished stretching the data. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of NGC 2244 the Rosette Nebula.
