Description

I was lucky this Christmas and I had a few clear nights... so what better target for this period than the  Cone Nebula, and the Christmas Tree Cluster. 
I'm very happy with the result especially since I had taken this as SHO, I think it's way more dynamic and dramatic this way than regular HOO. Also played around with some new tools in Pixinsight and here the new spectrometric photo calibration tool helped a lot in getting the right colors.
