Description

This is the Christmas Tree Nebula, NGC 2264, which also includes the Cone Nebula at top center and the Fox Fur Nebula at left center. It was taken through a Stellarvue SVX180T refractor telescope with a ZWO ASI6200MM camera. Twenty-six subs were taken of 180 seconds each through LRGB filters for the nebulosity plus 10 second exposures through RGB filters for the stars. Taken from my backyard in the New Mexico Astronomy Village near Deming, New Mexico.
