Description

Typically you would include the Cone Nebula with this area but since I had already shot a wide field of the area I decided to concentrate on the Christmas Tree Cluster and the Fox Head/Fur portion of this nebula where the blue reflection nebula is concentrated. Although seeing was pretty bad I'm pretty pleased how this turned out. I used the Chrominance from my widefield for this shot which was totally in HA for this close in shot.
