The Tunnel of Fire - animals in the Rosette

Finally some clear skies (faint.....)

Two nights in a row (faint....)

This is only my second image in 6 months ...but at least it is a new image

More commonly referred to as The Rosette Nebula, I think it looks like a Tunnel of Fire.

This is is a HaOIIISIIRGB combination totaling just over 7hrs taken with the AG12 - 12" F3.8 corrected astrograph.

Processed to deliver a (more or less) true colour image. Seeing was the usual battling borderline rubbish

The Tunnel of Fire Full Fame at 50%

The inner Rosette crop at 80%

And I found These Animals lurking in the nebula

It's a little bold so I hope you like it

Mike
