Description

My fist picture in 2021.

A total of 14 hours exposure including for about 5 hours data from last night with previous data from 2018. This time I added more colors to the stars and a few hours of Duo Narrowband data to the color CMOS camera.

Inside the nebula lies an open cluster of bright young stars designated NGC 2244. These stars formed about four million years ago from the nebular material and their stellar winds are clearing a hole in the nebula's center, insulated by a layer of dust and hot gas. Ultraviolet light from the hot cluster stars causes the surrounding nebula to glow. The Rosette Nebula spans about 100 light-years across, lies about 5000 light-years away, and can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Unicorn
