Description

Out of all the targets I've been able to shoot thus far, the wider region of the Cone has one of the most stunning and dense star fields I've seen. I've attempted to let them really shine here, and contrast against the beautiful colors of the nebula. 
The Cone Nebula resides around 2500 light years away in the constellation Monoceros.

Imaged from 12/21/22 - 01/26/23 from the backyard.
