Cone Nebula (NGC2264) in Hα-SII/OIII/OIII+rgb

Finally I take enough data to process this object like I want.

Like my last previous works I try to obtain the maximum detail with a very long integration, more than 73 hours this time.

 

It was processed using the natural palette, assigning Sii to an ultrared tone.
