Rosette Nebula.
SH2-275.
Caldwell 49.
Located near Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy and about 5,000 light-years away from planet Earth. Has a diameter of 130 light years which is pretty crazy but not unbelievable either. Space is just so infinite for us.
First time shooting the Rosette Nebula. I got lucky considering the range of open skies in my backyard is limited. I was able to really bring out the meat of it. I’m hoping to get a second chance some time soon.
