A topical image for Christmas: The Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster. Full details here:
http://astrodoc.ca/cone-nebula-and-christmas-tree-cluster/This is a “work in progress”, made with a mere 80m of data acquired in 2012. I have made the best of the scant data available using some processing techniques that I have learned recently. I plan to acquire much more data soon and will repost this image. But it was pretty, and I wanted to share the result so far...
Clear skies,
Ron
