Description

I only discovered after the pictures shots that the mysterious variable Hubble nebula NGC 2261 (Caldwell 46) is on the lower right part of the picture.

It was quite a challenge to get a decent colour image with only three 6min OIII images available.

Longer exposure in Ha and OIII is clearly needed for the Cone nebula.
