Description

The Cone Nebula imaged in RGB, and details are from Ha + OIII. I really love the true color version of this amazing region! 

The Cone Nebula, The Fox Fur Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster.... this iconic region is located 2500 light years away in Monoceros.

There are also reflection nebulae components that are generally not seen in narrowband.
