NGC 2237 Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula is a large, circular H II region in the constellation Monoceros. Distance is 5,200 light-years. I had to wait until the almost full moon set around 2am to start capturing this image. There was a heavy dew present and a noisy Koala nearby to keep me company.
