3 Days of Data.
This is one of my best deep sky images, it took 3 days from me to complete almost 12 hours of Data, The Rosette Nebula known as NGC 2237 is a giant emission nebula in the constellation Monoceros at a distance of about 5200 light years. It is approximately 130 light years in diameter, significantly larger than the famous Orion Nebula (M42) which is much closer to the Earth. It is a region of intense star formation.
