Description

The Cone nebula and surrounding is highlighted primarily by Ha and S2 signals. A faint O2 glow surrounds the bright star 15 Monoceros. This image is a Ha-SHO composite taken over one night and a nearly full moon. Colors were exaggerated to highlight the 3D nature of the underlying gas clouds.

Only 4.5 hours but used a few more darks than usual. C&C Welcome.
