  1. The Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237) is a vast star-forming region about 5,000 light-years away in Monoceros.
    Glowing hydrogen gas is sculpted by radiation from young stars, while dark dust marks where future stars may still form.

    Captured where astronomy meets fine art. 🌌

    That's a terrific photo.

    I tried the #RosetteNebula with the #MicroObservatory, and barely got an image. Their photo equipment is beyond most amateur astronomers' equipment, but is old. Plus the web site allows a max of a 60 second exposure. That just isn't sufficient for that target.
