Description

NGC 2264 as seen in the early hours on 24.12.2020. Right in time for Christmas the clouds decided to show some sky and I managed to steal some 4 hours exposure on the Christmas Tree nebula.

There are a lot of interesting structures in the clouds. At my location the nebula rises to about 57 degrees so there was a lot of turbulence in the atmosphere. I adjusted focus several times but without much success.

Nevertheless, that night I was under the stars after nearly one month of clouds so I couldn't be more happy
