Description

I've tried for two years to photograph the Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264) with its Cone Nebula but without much success. Over three nights this past week (Feb. 8, 10, 11), I shot it in narrowband and assembled this version in the Hubble Palette. This target is tricky, and our atmospheric conditions don't always cooperate, but I finally got it. I hope I get another chance at it this season.
