NGC2264 - The Cone Nebula & Christmas Tree Cluster

[mightymonoped]

Managed to grab the better part of three hours in 180s subs on this last night, as it was the target most likely to give me a decent window of capture.

Integrated first as Ha-Oiii Colour then a second image integrated as separate Ha and Oiii extracts before combining as HOO in Astro Pixel Processor.

Light pollution cleanup and star colour calibration done in APP.

Processing done in Photoshop CC.

Very nice, great FOV, lovely stars and plenty of dust!

Great images...love the way the dust is almost 3d in places. On my to-do list!
