Description

I first caught the Christmas Tree a year ago when I was just getting to know my dual narrowband filter. After a little more experience using the filter and processing narrowband images and images in general, it seemed the right time to try the subject again. I took much more care composing and rotating the frame carefully this time to incorporate LBN 902 and LDN 1609 & 1610 into the frame for a better thought out composition.
