Description

Cone Nebula/Christmas Tree Cluster NGC 2264. This is my first try at this target, as it is usually blocked by trees at my location, but this was taken at a dark site recently with clear northerly aspect. Its only RGBL and I know it needs some Ha at the very least. It's a bit grainy in spots, but it was a rushed session on one night. I may return to this if possible. Camera is the ASI1600MM-C, scope is the MN190 Mak-Newt on a CGX mount. A bunch of 70s subs, processed in DSS and Photoshop CC.
