Description

This is a wide-field narrowband capture of the molecular cloud that surrounds the Cone Nebula.  It, the Christmas Tree Nebula and the Fox Fur Nebula are all about 2700 light years distant.  Also in the field are Hubble's Variable Nebula that shows up white and IC 2169 to the right.  This version has Hydrogen-alpha as red and Oxygen III as blue and green.  Sulfur II is encoded as white.
Both this image and the SHO version has star brightness and size reduced in AstroPixelProcessor.
