Description

'Tis the season for the good ol' Christmas Tree Cluster.  Happy Holidays everyone!  I used the new NBColourMapper script to augment the natural LRGB image with some Ha data and am pleased with the result.  Yeah... I know everyone's seen this a thousand times before, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful.
