Description

Monoceros Widefield MosaicThe Rosette Nebula is a large, circular emission nebula in the constellation Monoceros. It surrounds a cluster of hot, young stars known as the Rosette Cluster (NGC 2244).NGC 2264 is a bright cluster easily visible in finder scopes and binoculars. It consists of about 80 stars from 8th magnitude, and spans half a degree. NGC 2264 is embedded in an extensive but tenuous nebulosity, which may be glimpsed with larger telescopes under clear, dark skies. At the south end of the cluster lies the famous "Cone Nebula", an object that is difficult to detect visually.3-panel mosaicImaged from my backyard.ASIAIR, ZWO AM5, ASKAR FRA300, ASI2600MC, ZWO UV-IR Cut Antlia-T dual band filter. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop CC Bortle 6/7.
