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
