The Cone Nebula

Here is my latest photo of the Cone Nebula, Christmas Tree Cluster, and Fox Fur Nebula (busy spot!), a giant star-forming region in the constellation Monoceros.

 

I captured this from my light-polluted backyard using a dedicated astronomy camera and a 'dual-narrowband' filter back in 2022!

 

I went back and re-processed my original version using some new tips a tricks. While I don't think I have the skies (Bortle 7 at the time) for this one at home, I'm happy with this edit for now. 😊

 

Total Exposure: 4.5 hours (55 x 300s)
