Rosette Nebula

[Scott]

  As the title says, this is the Rosette Nebula. I was always under the impression that it's designation was NGC 2244 but when setting up I discovered that it is a combination of many different objects so I'll stick with the Rosette from now on . It is found 5,200 ly away in the constellation of Monocerus and is about 130 ly in diameter
  I began imaging this back in early January using Sequence Generator Pro with it's mosaic wizard which @daz pretty much set up for me from scratch. I would have been lost without his assistance. By the end of the month had gotten no further than the Ha.
  @steppenwolf was kind enough to let me use his Oiii data (and tolerated my incessant badgering for processing advice). 

This image is important to me because it shows how much people in astronomy and in particular SGL are prepered to help each other. 
If you've made it this far....

That is incredible. Hard to believe this came from Earth bound amateur equipment. Serious dedication and talent there.

Very nice indeed Sir, and a lovely story of collaboration to accompany it.

That’s tremendous. A very large eye looking back it me. Half a face.
