Image Description and Details: This is a 4-panel mosaic of the Monoceros constellation. The well-known Cone Nebula and Rosette Nebula are visible, but my focus has been on the fainter gas structures connecting them.

This was one of my most challenging projects so far, with a total integration time of 38 hours, captured using 3nm Ha, OIII, and SII filters. I worked to bring out these subtle structures and highlight their presence in a way that does them justice.

Hope you enjoy the image. Clear skies!
