NGC2264 Cone Nebula taken with Meade SN10 Schmidt Newtonian 1050mm FL 254mm Diam f/4 at None with Orion Starshoot Pro V1 Camera - Schneider 486 UVIR Filter. This is combined RGB (no filter) with Halpha for the Red channel.
NGC 2264, The Cone Nebula: November 29, 2006, full color ST9 exposures through 70mm guide scope at f/5.7. (R 15x1min, G 5x1min, 9x1min). Luminance exposures were with the H-alpha filter, 11 exposures at 5 minutes each. (Image reduced in AIP4WIN)

NGC2264 Cone Nebula taken with Meade SN10 Schmidt Newtonian 1050mm FL 254mm Diam f/4 at Sunnyvale California, with Orion Starshoot Pro V1 Camera - Schneider 486 UVIR Filter and Baader Halpha filter. The dark cone region is at the top of this image. The cone is also at the top of the "Christmas Tree" of stars that form its outline - the base of the tree is the bright star at the center bottom of this image.

#NGC2264 is part of the #Monoceros region of the Milky Way and contains 4 nebulae that are between 2300 and 2700 light years from Earth:. The #ConeNebula is on the far left. The #ChristmasTreeNebula looks like it is lying on its side with the Cone at its top,. The #SnowflakeNebula is bluish white and would show up better with more exposure time. And the #FoxFurNebula is on the far right. This image is 17 three minute exposures that I captured Friday night stacked with calibration frames. I processed the color channels separately and would like to redo this image because I think I could pull more blue out of it. #StillLearning
🌌 Un gran y bello manto rojo que abraza un criadero de estrellas, en lo que parece una cálida escena navideña. Y no digo esto sin razón, ya que en la imagen tenemos el Cúmulo Árbol de navidad, un cúmulo abierto conformado por las estrellas azules.
🎄 Además del arbolito, tenemos en la zona inferior a la Nebulosa del Cono, una nebulosa oscura que contrasta bastante con otra nebulosa de emisión débil que se encuentra por detrás, en color rojo. Todo este complejo de objetos es llamado NGC 2264, y está a unos 3000 años luz en la constelación del unicornio o monoceros .
🔭 Esta imagen en particular, fue compuesta usando los filtros B, V, R y h-alpha, y su extensión de lado a lado es de aproximadamente 30 años luz

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.
