NGC2237 The Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula (also known as NGC2237) is a large emission nebula in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy and is located approximately 5,200 light-years from Earth. The massive stars that make up the Rosette Nebula's central cluster are only a few millions of years old, but because they are some of the hottest and brightest stars in the universe, they are already halfway through their lifecycle. The stellar wind produced by these stars created the hole at the centre of the nebula, that gives this cloud of interstellar gas and dust its distinctive rose-like shape.
This image is the result of 32 x 300s exposures, captured using a ZWO ASI2600 colour camera attached to a Teleskop-Service TS65Q telescope with a Altair Quad-Band filter. The separate exposures were captured using Sequence Generator Pro and then stacked and processed using Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop CC.
