Description

NGC 2264 Cone nebula and Christmas Tree cluster. The cluster spans 20 light years and is about 2600 light years away.

First light for my ASI2600MM camera, bolt-on 7x36mm EFW, and set of LRGB and 5nm SHO Astrodon filters.

I was only able to collect narrowband for this so far, mainly Ha. Details looked best in this goldish hue to my eye.
