Next to the Orion Nebula, the Rosette Nebula is definitely a must-do on the list of every aspiring astrophotographer. Located not too far from Orion in Monoceros, this large H II region has spectacular features, centered around a star cluster.
My image shows the nebula in a variation of the Hubble palette as a combination of narrowband integrations (Sulphur, Hydrogen, Oxygen); with natural color stars.
