Here is a cropped version of Ngc2264 or the Cone Nebula but also still fairly widefield in the Constellatioin Monoceros .I decided to try out the new script Veralux Suite in Pixinsight .Ifound that the Auto version gave very rich brigngt colours and felt had to be toned down, not good when colourblind.I was able to get a version by using it in manual option(Scientific(Manual) with all the sliders hard left almost not registering a valiue..You can also enter from a list of Camera Sensor numbers which for this data set IMX455 QHY 600M . I want to carry out further tests with this Script as its only been available last few weeks .Thanks to Telescope Live for the FREE data set and also Nik Szymanek - Merry Chrismas and the very Best in 2026 to All Members.......
