Description

I realized that in the orientation of this object that I just posted it is called the Cone and Fox Fur Nebula, but a 90° CCW rotation makes into the Cone and Christmas Tree Nebula. Great with two nebulas in one, so here is the Christmas Tree version. I think the impression is quite different. Data is the same (from Jim Matzger and me)
