NGC2264 and its surroundings
Photo description / processing
NGC 2264 - The Cone Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster, and its surroundings. Captured with short exposures over two nights in early November. A small crop of the central area (there is some coma or I pinched the optics—haven't figured it out yet), 60% of the original. The filter, of course, isn't ideal for such a fast optic; I should have used a 12 nm one, but I only remembered that on the second night.
