This sweeping widefield frames two fascinating but very different nebulae: Sh2-170, nicknamed the Little Rosette, and Abell 85 (CTB 1), often called the Garlic Head Nebula. Sh2-170 is an emission nebula whose rosy glow is powered by hot, young stars ionizing the surrounding hydrogen gas. Its compact, circular shape resembles a miniature version of the famous Rosette Nebula.

To its side lies Abell 85, a much older supernova remnant spanning about 100 light-years. Its faint filaments trace the shockwaves from a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago, leaving behind this ghostly bubble of energized gas. Capturing both objects in a single frame highlights the dramatic contrast between stellar birth and death in our galaxy.
