Jurong XMas Tree

Post by kochu »

Part of NGC2264 Christmas tree cluster.(No cone)

Friday 24 th night was throughout clear in Jurong. Wanted to get famous cone & Christmas Cluster Nebula in Monoceros. However native 120 ed optics couldnot frame the whole complex. Cone is somewhere very close outside the top left corner frame of image. May be another clear night with reducer....
