Description

The Cone Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264) from the El Sauce Observatory in Chile.  This photo was taken using an aging CCD camera coupled with a 500mm telescope at f3.8 with a focal length of 1900mm.  The data set included only one sub frame with the blue filter, but I am pleased with the resulting image.
