Rosette Nebula Core
It’s late in the season for the Rosette Nebula, which hangs just north of Orion… but I was able to squeeze 30 minutes in before it hit the south tree line.
The nebula is massive… the size of several full moons in the sky. So the big telescope was just able to capture its core, full of reds from hydrogen and greens from oxygen gases.
