Description
NGC 2264, a vast star forming region of ionized hydrogen 2300 light-years from Earth in the constellation Monoceros, contains many cosmic treasures which together have the appearance of multiple pine trees. At the top of this image, the prominent spike of the Cone Nebula is visible, pointing to the sparkling stars of the Christmas Tree Cluster. Further down, the ripples of the Fox Fur nebula are visible. This faint nebula required close to 20 hours of exposure to image, using a 100mm refractor, cooled astronomy camera, and tracking mount.
