Christmas Tree Cluster (Mk2)

A reprocessed attempt to improve the nebula contrast and stars of this LRGB image of the Christmas Tree cluster.  It also has an Ha blend into the Red and Lum channels. The original can be found in my album under Deep Sky III.

Thanks Stuart ! .....personally, I was a bit surprised to see the features of a Christmas Reindeer appear in the red nebulosity to the left of the very bright blue star in the center of the image
