Cone down to Rosette and beyond

[melsky]

Sunday night was clear but not particularly transparent so I thought I'd do a wide field HA image, I had tried this area the night before whilst out with Sanmatt but cloud intervened after 6 exposures.

This image is made up from 22 frames of 4 minutes each shot with an 85mm lens on my modded 550D mounted on the Astrotrac.

Can anyone help out with the identification of the 3 nebulae under the Rosette please?

Nice image Mel.

There are four down there. SH2-284/2/0 and a tiny 283 between 284 and 282..... I think.

Check out Galaxymap.

Mel, that's an amazing image, the detail is incredible - well done!

Amazing image Mel, makes the Cone nebula look tiny. Well done.

Another fabulous Ha widefield. This is truly superb and what a region to see in a single image. Majestic stuff.

It cries out to be linked to your beautiful Orion widefield. Registar can handle that. I'd be glad to do it for you if you don't have Registar.

It's great to see a sense of scale in this area. I see 'christmas tree' and 'cone' pics quite often. Now I see them next to the Rosette I appreciate their relative size, position and brightness. The dark area top right is amazingly dark compared to the vast number of stars in the rest of the image. Brilliant image.

Really nicely taken Mel, well worth all the effort put into it. It's great to see the various objects in relation to each other

Is it me, or are there some extra special images being posted this week. I've seen four that have been just amazing and this is up there - well done.

[kenmyers]

:icon_salut:That is super - thank you for pointing out the cone and the christmas tree.

Ohh that's a beauty Melsky! Top work there.

My imaging is a little ropey of my M42 but at least there is something there.

A wonderfully deep and wide Ha image -very nice indeed. I hadn't realised just how much nebulosity there is in that region but boy have you captured it!

Good god!! That is a stunning!!! image, so much detail to get in one image and it does show the vastness of the area and the size comparison is evident which is great! Well done matey
