Description

This is a two-panel mosaic image capturing a wide-field view of the Monoceros constellation, featuring two notable celestial objects: NGC 2264 (the Christmas Tree Cluster) and IC 447 (a reflection nebula). NGC 2264 is a complex star-forming region, including the bright Christmas Tree Cluster and the famous Cone Nebula. IC 447, primarily a reflection nebula, shines with the light of nearby young stars.NGC 2264 contains rich narrowband signals, while IC 447 is mainly a reflection nebula. I used RGB and narrowband filters (Ha, Sii, Oiii) for this image. During the compositing process, I retained the essential elements of the RGB channels and added narrowband signals. Below IC 447, you can also see prominent dark nebulae.
