NGC 2244 and the Rosette Nebula

Very modest capture of the NGC 2244 (or Caldwell 50) cluster next to the Rosette Nebula, at 135 mm (in this case, approximately 200 mm with an APS-C sensor).

It is 52 minutes of integration, which is enough to appreciate the star cluster (center of the photo) next to the nebula. A myriad of stars complete the photo, with two stars standing out here that shine with blue tones, which belong to the Monoceros constellation.

The warm nights of the Argentine summer invite you to enjoy the starry sky and take small photographs of immense worlds. Nikon D5600, Nikkor 135 mm, f/5.6, Iso 6400. Processed with Siril, GraXpert and Gimp.
