Foxfur and Cone Nebula


Gerr

Recommended Posts

These nebula (also known as the Christmas Tree Cluster) are about 2600 light years distant in the Monoceros constellation.

They are reflective and emission nebulas - the Foxfur nebula is formed by interstellar dust reflecting light from the brightest stars which glows blue.

I managed to capture 60mins of RGB data (no filter) and 45mins of 'H-alpha' data (using the L-eNance filter) over two consecutive nights with the moon at first quarter in mediocre weather conditions. Bortle class 6 back garden.

Equipment: HEQ5 mount    Canon 650D (ISO1600)   SW200P

Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS2 (two images into one).

Hope u like.
