Description

IC 447 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Monoceros, situated just a couple of degrees West of the Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264).  It's a really nice-looking object that I'm surprised doesn't get more attention.

I could only get about 2.5 hrs of integration time before it went behind the trees, and it doesn't look like we'll be getting another clear night for at least a week (the usual sad story!) - so here's what I have so far.

Clear skies,
Mark
