Description

NGC 2264, the famous cone nebula and the associated Christmas Tree Cluster are often seen as narrowband photographs because H-alpha frames reveil a lot of details. However, the blue reflection nebulae in this field require conventinal RGB or LRGB photography. I have chosen the LRGB path without addition of H-alpha.
