Phenomenal. How far away?

edit: it’s 5,200 light years away and one light year is 5.88 trillion miles

Or “wish you was closer” in ODT terms

I know nothing about telescopes but I thought it would be bigger considering the quality of your photos.

The Rosette Nebula is about twice the size of a full moon (as it appears in the sky). It is just too faint to be seen by the naked eye.
