Description

For similar reasons for the delay for the flaming star nebula I just posted, I have now managed to process the Cone nebula image. I am especially pleased because having battled with this, I have managed to just about bring out the faint yellowy/orange nebulosity just above the cone, which is as far as I am aware, and important feature when imaging this.

The scope took 38 in Ha, at 5 minutes in length each, 30 in L at 5 minutes in length each, and 19 subs in R, G and B all at 5 minutes in length. Integration time was almost 10.5 hours.
