Rosette Nebula 🌹
✨🌌 One of the most beautiful **star-forming regions** in the constellation **Monoceros**, located about **5,200 light-years** from Earth.
It spans roughly **45 light-years across**, forming a vast cosmic cloud of gas and dust.
At its core lies the open star cluster **NGC 2244**, where hot, young stars emit intense radiation that **ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas**, giving the nebula its characteristic glow and carving out its central cavity.
📸 **Imaging details:**
🔭 Seestar S30
⏱️ **920 × 20s exposures**
🧪 Stacked in **Siril** with **2× drizzle**
