Description

Like many others, I return to the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244) every year to see what the sky and my skills will reveal. It is such a spectacular object, seemingly a fantastical portal to distant realms.

A brief opening over two nights gave me a chance to explore it once again. I used a Celestron RASA 8 and  high-speed narrowband filters to capture it in SHO.
