Description

This image is a wide-field view of NGC 2264 and all its members. The Cone Nebula on the top, followed by the Christmas Tree Cluster, the Snowflake Cluster, and the Fox Fur Nebula.

I had this as a parking target (9-11pm) before the Iris and Blue Horsehead nebulae cleared above the horizon. With nothing but pretty clouds in the forecast, I decided to process whatever data I had collected.

The channels are uneven, but this will do for now. I will come back and add more data the next time around.
