Description

Merry Christmas! Today, I present you with my WIP (Work-In-Progress) Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone Nebula! So far, I've got 42 @ 10-minute exposures in this totalling 7 hours so-far! I'm having some problems though - if you notice the horizontal dark lines next to the brightest stars, you'll see what I'm talking about... I've tried to clean them up as best I could, but am only able to do so much... I'm still trying to figure out what's causing them, so if you have any experience or ideas, I'd love to hear about it/them!

As always, please Like/Comment/Share to show what we're able to get here in East Texas just by looking UP!!!! GOD created these things, and HE is the REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!
