Description

This is the second image I processed from our remote observatory.

NGC 2264 identifies two astronomical objects as a single object: the Cone Nebula, and the Christmas Tree Cluster. Also in the image are Fox Fur Nebula and Snowflake Cluster.

Although Monoceros doesn't have bright stars, there're several of them in this image. The brightest being mag 4, they are quite a challenge in my processing, as I only used Ha as Luminance layer.
