In the constellation of Monoceros, the bright Rosette Nebula and delicate Cone Nebula reach out to each other with filaments of hydrogen dust, creating a cosmic dance of celestial bodies. This enchanting scene is nestled within the Monoceros constellation, which is Greek for "unicorn," residing approximately 5,000 light-years away from Earth. The vibrant Rosette Nebula, also known as Caldwell 49, spans over 130 light-years across, making it one of the largest known emission nebulas. Its radiant appearance is the result of ionized hydrogen gas, which emits reddish-pink hues as the ultraviolet radiation from young, massive stars within the nebula's core causes the gas to glow. The Rosette Nebula is also a well-known star-forming region, with new stars being birthed within its dense molecular clouds.
In contrast, the Cone Nebula, or Caldwell 26, is a much smaller and more delicate structure situated near the Rosette Nebula. This exquisite formation gets its name from its distinctive cone shape, which is created by a combination of dust and gas that obscure the light from the stars behind it. The Cone Nebula is considered a dark nebula, and it is also a site for active star formation. It is estimated to be around seven light-years in length, with its tip pointing towards the heart of the Monoceros constellation. The connection between the Rosette and Cone Nebulas is formed by intricate filaments of hydrogen dust, weaving a celestial tapestry that highlights the vast beauty and complexity of the universe.

Humans have dreamed of and studied the stars since the beginning of history. To know the stars and motion of the planets has always been a valued pursuit. Since the dawn of civilisation, we have built to reach for the heavens from the ziggurats of Mesopotamia to the skyscrapers of Manhattan humans have sought to build towards the heavens. Last century we first visited space and new telescope technology unlocked the ability to see and record the cosmos.
In the last decade entry level camera equipment has advanced to the point where it allows us to explore the wonders of space in our own backyards. This collection seeks to highlight how an average person can unlock and explore the wonders of space with basic photography equipment.
The equipment used to take these images is limited to a star adventurer star tracker, a 135mm F2 prime lens and an entry level dslr. The collection will be expanded over time and will include collectors rewards, including raffles and air drops.
