Description

I captured this target throughout November, December, and January. It is NGC 2264, also known as the Christmas Tree cluster and Cone Nebula.

I spent more than 80 hours capturing this object, using 6 different filters (RGB for the stars, SHO for the gases).

The details are very crisp, the noise is basically non-existent, and the colors came out vibrant!
