We had decent conditions here a couple of nights ago and I was able to image several objects. Here is the first: the Rosette Nebula. The Rosette is part of a large nebula complex in the constellation Monoceros. The cluster of stars associated with the nebula "power" it and make it visible, especially in HII light (as captured in this image). The second image shows details of the complex, star forming "knots" in the nebula.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
