Description

A widefield shot of the nebulosity around the cone nebula and Christmas tree cluster. 

Weirdly I couldn't find many images framed in this way. Most taken of this region are either closer crops of the cone/foxfur etc or really widefield images which include the Rosette. This sits right in the middle of those two. 

Besides a bit of cropping to remove stacking artefacts this is close to the full field of view for my Redcat51 and 2600MC combo, it fits quite nicely.

Title: Reprocess of stars and other adjustments

Description: I had another go at reprocessing the stars. The starfield was a bit too busy and there were little bubbles behind the smaller stars that looked to me like frog spawn. I've tried to do a better job with that. The original also had a green hue to the background which I've tried to correct.
