This is the nebula-rich region of Monoceros the Unicorn, containing the bright Rosette Nebula, NGC 2237, below the fainter and larger complex of nebulosity, NGC 2264, which contains the small (on this scale) Cone Nebula. The blue reflection nebula to the right is IC 2169. The main area of dense dark nebula above it is Barnard 37-9. The yellow star cluster embedded in the large nebula is Trumpler 5. Below the Rosette is the trio of Sharpless nebulas, from top to bottom: Sh2-280, Sh2-282 and Sh2-284. Above Sh2-282 is the star cluster Collinder 110. This is a stack of 16 x 2 minute exposures with the Canon RF135mm lens at f/2 and on the Canon Ra at ISO 800, tracked but not guided on the Astro-Physics AP400 mount. From the Warrumbungles Mountain Motel near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, March 2024.
