Description

Shooting the Cone Nebula and the encompassing NGC 2264 region in narrowband helped overcome some significant moonlight and also revealed the underlying brilliant colors.

In this interpretation, I mapped Ha, SII and OIII to traditional red, green and blue channels. It is much more vivid than the SHO version, and the Cone Nebula pops accordingly.
