Description

A rushed job because weather gave me only very windy and moony nights.

Don't look too closely at the stars. Or the noise.

Best seen unzoomed.

But you can zoom if you want, just be warned :-p

I will gather more time and upload a better version later, but this one seemed good for the occasion.

This is the Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone nebula in SHO... kinda. I had only token OIII data good only for star "color". I left the NB star colors because they suit the image, but I will probably try to make a version with RGB stars at some point.

Processing this has been quite a pain, mostly because of the very limited OIII data I could gather.

This is my first SHO image, and I'm finding it very rewarding.
