A photo of the "Rosette Nebula", in Monoceros, photographed from St. John's on March 24, 2008 by Tim Caruk. The Rosette Nebula (NGC2237) in the constellation Monoceros to the
left of Orion is about 5200 light years from Earth. The star cluster NGC 2244 is
embedded within the nebula having been formed from it's Hydrogen matter. Although quite faint it can be seen in a small telescope in very dark skies. I took this photo using a 80mm refractor scope and a Canon 350d digital SLR on
a clear night in St John's on March 24/08. Processing was with Registax. Click image for full original photo.

Very close image of the "Rosette Nebula", in Monoceros, photographed from St. John's on April 4, 2008 by Tim Caruk. This is a very close image taken to the left of the central stars of NGC 2244. Dark dust regions obscure the emission nebula behind and may be regions of new star birth. I took this image using a Celestron 8 inch scope from St John's. Click image for full original photo.
