Description

Just in time before the clouds came about, the Christmas Tree Cluster NGC 2264. Not exactly a masterpiece but recognizable. Barely visible, the Cone Nebula. These objects need more integration and autoguiding. How I love to take dark frames, no need to be concerned about tracking.

Description: Tracking was horrible, removed 70 from 100 light subs and stacked again. The nebula is fainter and noisier but stars are nearly round.
