Description

A different color take on the Cone and Christmas Tree region, since "traditional" SHO is not so attractive -- consider this an aesthetic take (as is almost all narrowband), but still true to the structures shown. The color was inspired in some respects by the Fox Fur Nebula (center left), where I am most familiar with the Red Fox variety.

5.5 hrs total integration over four nights at 139G 0C, with slightly messy sessions due to angles.

S - 90x 60s

H - 110x 60s

O - 130x 60s
