Description

The Christmas Tree Cluster feat. the Cone Nebula presented in combined broadband and narrowband data with an OSC camera.

A little late to the Christmas party. NGC 2264 is a nebulous area with a cluster of young stars aging between one and five million years old and approximately 2,500 lights years from Earth. The Cone Nebula itself is a dense star-forming region over 7 light-years in length.

The broadband and narrowband data was captured and stacked separately then combined and processed in Pixinsight.
