Description

Had many clear nights and early mornings this week!
This is an early morning wide field target. "Christmas Tree Cluster" (NGC 2264) with Cone Nebula at the top.
Because I need to setup and tear down each time,I like to do an imaging session and come away with 1-2 completed images. Multiplied hours of integration is not something I prefer to do. Would rather enjoy the work of those who do it.
