Description

NGC 2261/Hubble's Variable Nebula is a variable nebula (apparently changes its appearance every few weeks) and the Cone Nebula is an H II region located in the constellation Monoceros and the Cone Nebula. An very heavy starfield is also located in this region thus making the work of processing to bring out features of both nebulae more challenging. Very limited saturation applied given the natural colours of this area.
