I've wanted to photograph the Rosette Nebula since I started astrophotography, and after two weeks of thick cloud last night I set about it.
It's a cosmic cloud of gas and dust which is around 5,000 light years away from Earth, in the constellation Monoceros.
The shape of the Nebula was sculpted by the winds and radiation of the cluster of young stars in the center of the Rosette, known as NGC 2244.
Acquisition: Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro, Canon 80D (unmodded), William Optics Z73 Refractor Telescope
1 hour 22 minutes x 60 & 30 second light frames, 50 bias, 30 flats.
