Description

NGC 2264 refers to two official objects: the Cone Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster. Two additional objects are not officially included, the Snowflake Cluster and the Fox Fur Nebula.

These objects are all located within the Monoceros constellation which is about 2,300 light-years from Earth.

This is old data that I didn't think was worthy of posting here. I have new tools and new skill, so I thought I'd give it a try.
