Description

NGC2264, the Christmastree cluster - a very convenient target for this time of the year. Two consecutive clear nights allowed me to use all filters with my QHY268M on the Skywatcher Esprit 550. In total about 15hrs of exposures, RGB 120 sec, HOS 300sec..
Processing done with PixInsight, StarXTerminator to process the nebula separately, Photoshop22 to recombine all layers and optimize them to my liking.
