Description

The Cone Nebula or NGC 2264 is part of the famous Christmas Tree cluster in the constellation Monoceros. I finally got a couple of nights where I was able to collect enough data to process this image. This will be the last image I shoot with this camera as I'm getting my new 2600mc pro on Tuesday! 
All the data was collected with my NBZ filter for the nebula and the stars were shot with  my L-Pro for accurate color. As much as a crop as I did I should have had more data but in all I'm fairly happy with it. I  have a wide field of view with the whole complex but with today's IOTD I'm reluctant to post it, although I really do like my version!

Thanks for looking!

Dale
