Description

I decided to go for this object during a relatively unsteady 2 evenings with average FWHM > 2.5".  Although Ha detail is a bit light,  I think I captured decent depth, especially in the RGB stars. 

"SH2-170, also known as the "Little Rosette" Nebula, is an H2 region located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. This region of gas and dust is located about 7500-light years away in the Perseus arm of our Milky Way galaxy. 

The bright star at the nebula's center ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas and causes it to glow."
