Description

I was surprised to see the beautiful colours and dramatic lighting on this LRGB version of the Christmas Tree Cluster.
I was a bit late on this target, so I only got a few hours of data for now. Even the very basic processing reveals a rather beautiful scenery of stars and nebulosity.

Enjoy
