About this image

This is my first ever mosaic - a two panel.

Imaged between 10^th Dec21 – 10Feb22.

The Rosette nebula – known by NGC 2237 & NGC 2244(the open cluster inside the Rose)

It is a beautiful region in the sky, in the constellation of Monoceros. It can be found North east of the fantastic Orion constellation. The nebula and stars in the open cluster are about 5,000 light years from us – not that far away really :) It is about 130 light years in diameter.

I have wanted to image this Deep Sky Object since I started my Astro journey but needed to wait until I had a bit more experience under my belt – processing experience really :)

Processing; Deep sky stacker, PixInsight with final tweaks in Photoshop + Topaz DeNoise AI.

Clear skies all.
