Description

The Rosette Nebula is a beautiful emission nebula in Monoceros. An open star cluster lies in its center ( NGC 2244 ).

This was captured after I tried to improve my collimation on my Hyperstar system. The diffraction spikes need to be centered better. That is because the camera cables weren't positioned properly.

I wish I could have captured a wider field , but my camera has a small sensor.

Seeing 6/10.

Mike
