Rosette Nebula - True Color Broadband
The Rosette Nebula is a star-forming region approximately 5,000 light-years from earth. It is located in the Monoceros Region of our MilkyWay Galaxy. It is approximately 130 light-years across and at the center contains the open star cluster NGC 2244.
I imaged the Rosette at two International Dark Sky sites over the course of three months from December 2019 - February 2020. In total, it is about 8.5 hours of data. The image is comprised of only broadband, visible light with no filters. I cropped in the image to provide a closer view of the detail.
