Description

Quite a lot is going on in this section of the NGC 2467, nicknamed the "Skull and Crossbones"! The yellow bubble on the right is a prime example of a Strömgren sphere (bubble of ionized hydrogen around a cluster of hot O/B class stars), of which the Rosette Nebula is probably the most famous one.

The data looked fine even with 2x drizzle so I uploaded this crop at the full 0.34"/px resolution.
