Description

NGC2264 or rather part of NGC2264. The original plan was:

1. Go deep

2. Capture both FoxFur, Xmas Three AND Cone nebulae

Reality:

1. Couldn't go deep (or as deep as I wished for) as awful weather put paid to it and now is too darn late

2. Not enough time (see point above) to do the Cone any justice so I restricted myself to the upper half.

Such is life...

N.B.: 150 minutes of the whole where taken with Full Moon. So, yes, you can still image with the Big Pale Face on.
