This wide-field shot was taken at the Deep Sky West Observatory in New Mexico (USA) with a Rokinon 135mm f2 photo lens. The clear and dark sky there makes it possible to capture incredibly impressive pictures.
The detail of the Rosette nebula was supplemented with own H-Alpha shots from spring 2016.
