Notes: Compare this shot to others in the set to show the relative sizes of these astronomical targets.
This is a small portion of a larger emission nebula that is roughly 10 degrees east of Betelgeuse. It would take about 15 additional pictures of this size to capture the entire region. The background is red due to hydrogen gas that is being pumped full of energy by an extremely hot and massive star. 20 minute total exposure at f/6.3 with a Celestron Edge HD 9.25" and ATIK 314L+ color CCD camera. Guided with PHD. Processing done with Deep Sky Stacker, FITS Liberator and Photoshop Elements.
A region of star formatiompn in the constellation Monoceros known as NGC 2264 containing the Cone Nebula (bottom) and Christmas Tree star cluster (top). 66 exposures, 5 min. each in 3 mosaic tiles in the light of warm hydrogen gas, from suburban Bloomington, Indiana. GSO 8" f/8 RC OTA, ZWO ASI2600MM Pro cooled monochrome CMOS camera, SVBONY H-alpha 7nm filter, ZWO EAF autofocuser, Losmandy GM811G mount, ZWO ASIAir Plus controller, auto-guided, AstroTech AT60GS 60mm f/4 guide scope, ZWO ASI290MM Mini guide camera.

This is a capture of the NGC 2264 Christmas Tree Cluster NGC 2264 and the Cone Nebula. This object is 2700 light years away from us.

I found Saturn, and it was supposed to be near by. Couldn't without doubt find it, so i just took this. Liked it anyway.
Resembling a nightmarish beast rearing its head from a crimson sea, this celestial object is actually just a pillar of gas and dust. Called the Cone Nebula (in NGC 2264) - so named because in ground-based images it has a conical shape - this monstrous pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region. This picture, taken by the newly installed Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the upper 2.5 light-years of the Cone, a height that equals 23 million roundtrips to the Moon. The entire pillar is seven light-years long. Radiation from hot, young stars (located beyond the top of the image) has slowly eroded the nebula over millions of years. Ultraviolet light heats the edges of the dark cloud, releasing gas into the relatively empty region of surrounding space. There, additional ultraviolet radiation causes the hydrogen gas to glow, which produces the red halo of light seen around the pillar. A similar process occurs on a much smaller scale to gas surrounding a single star, forming the bow-shaped arc seen near the upper left side of the Cone. This arc, seen previously with the Hubble telescope, is 65 times larger than the diameter of our Solar System. The blue-white light from surrounding stars is reflected by dust. Background stars can be seen peeking through the evaporating tendrils of gas, while the turbulent base is pockmarked with stars reddened by dust. Over time, only the densest regions of the Cone will be left. But inside these regions, stars and planets may form. The Cone Nebula resides 2500 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. The Cone is a cousin of the M16 pillars, which the Hubble telescope imaged in 1995. Consisting mainly of cold gas, the pillars in both regions resist being eroded away by the blistering ultraviolet radiation from young, massive stars. Pillars like the Cone and M16 are common in large regions of star birth. Astronomers believe that these pillars may be incubators for developing stars. The ACS made this observation on 2 April 2002. The colour image is constructed from three separate images taken in blue, near-infrared, and hydrogen-alpha filters. Image credit: NASA, the ACS Science Team (H. Ford, G. Illingworth, M. Clampin, G.

The separate images are calibrated and stacked in MaximDl and the colors are blended in PS5 using the lighten blending mode
This is one of my earliest astrophotos and shows Orion rising above Duffus Castle in Moray, Scotland. The background glow is due to the the light pollution from nearby Elgin!
Equipment used: Tripod-mounted Canon EOS 300D, 18-55mm lens.
Exposure details: 30 Seconds @ f/4.5, ISO-800.
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the tip of the Cone Nebula (NGC 2264). Variant created by NASA.
This colour image of the region known as NGC 2264 — an area of sky that includes the sparkling blue baubles of the Christmas Tree star cluster and the Cone Nebula — was created from data taken through four different filters (B, V, R and H-alpha) with the Wide Field Imager at ESO's La Silla Observatory, 2400 m high in the Atacama Desert of Chile in the foothills of the Andes. The image shows a region of space about 30 light-years across. This image is available as a mounted image in the ESOshop. #L

AT65EDQ , cg-5 mount, modded T1i,12nm Ha filter
i cant believe i was able to go 10 minute subs with the cg5 mount. i still needed to go a little longer to get the histogram a third from the leftside, oh well. once it gets dark i only have a hour or two befor this area goes over my roof. its too bad this winters weather has been bad for astrophotography. i minimized the stars on this one and am too lazy to remove the satellite trail right now.
The Cone Nebula (NGC 2264), 03/19/2020
Now I like a lot more then I thought I would! It is a really small target for my current setup and I did not think I could capture enough detail in the short amount of time I was able to spend collecting photons. But I wanted to see how the new telescope would do. I did crop it in a bit to make it look bigger in the frame. But damn it looks cool AF.
The Cone Nebula (or the Christmas Tree Nebula in December 😉) is an emission nebula found in the Monoceros Constellation. The cone shape is a cloud of cold hydrogen gas and dust blocking the light of the star S. Monocerotis which is the brightest star in this image. The cone is about seven light-year long and sits around 2,700 light-years from my telescope.

NGC 2264 is the designation number of the New General Catalog that identifies four astronomical objects as a single object: the Cone Nebula, the Christmas Tree Cluster, Snowflake Cluster, and the Fox Fur Nebula.
All of the objects are located in the Monoceros constellation and are located about 800 parsecs or 2600 light-years from Earth.
NGC 2264 is sometimes referred to as the Christmas Tree Cluster and the Cone Nebula. However, the designation of NGC 2264 in the New General Catalog refers to both objects and not the cluster alone.

NGC 2264, The Cone Nebula: November 29, 2006, full color ST9 exposures through 70mm guide scope at f/5.7, red, blue and green channels only. (R 15x1min, G 5x1min, 9x1min). Luminance images taken but were not used in the final image. Luminance exposures were with the H-alpha filter, 11 exposures at 5 minutes each. I used noise filter in AIP4WIN and gradient remover in MaxIm DL. (Images were reduced in AIP4WIN).
