Rosette Nebula

17 September 2008 11:30 GMT — Votes (1)
This is an image of the centre of the Rosette Nebula, as imaged in Hydrogen alpha emission in the IPHAS survey. The centre of this HII region, where the exciting star cluster (NGC 2244) is located, lies at the middle-bottom of this image (N is to the left, and E down). The longer dimension in this image is approximately 30 arcminutes. Image taken using the Isaac Newton Telescope. Photograph (c) Nick Wright, University College London
