Description

This nebula holds a special place for me because the first image I took of it, back in February 2017, was what I deem to be my first "good" astro image. It turned out to be good enough to win 2nd place in the Astronomical League's Astro Imaging competition in 2017!

I finally got the chance this winter to do an update. The 2017 image was done with my DSLR, and this one is with my two cooled astro-specific cameras. Of course, imaging from the brightly-lit Bay Area makes it difficult, so I will definitely be re-visiting the Rosette again in the future!
