This wide field in Monoceros is centered on NGC 2264, that identifies two astronomical objects as a single object: the Christmas Tree Cluster and the Cone Nebula.
The trunk of the tree is identified by the brightest star in the field, S Monocerotis and the tree itself has the tip in correspondance of the Cone Nebula.
The tree is "immersed" in red nebulosity but near the trunk there is also a nice blue reflection nebula.
In the upper right side of the image is well visible, with its V shape, the Hubble Variable Nebula.
Other bright and dark nebulae are well visible all around the field.
On the bottom left side of the image some strikes on the sky are visible: they should be an issue related to some kind of reflections inside the optic maybe due to the bright S Monocerotis star (I've seen that this setup is very sensible to the reflections when there are bright stars in the field or just out the field: sometimes it is enough modify a little the framing and the reflections disappear, but in this case I did realize the issue only when all the LRGB frames were taken...)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
