NGC 2264 in LRGB
The designation in the New General Catalogue identifies two astronomical objects: the Cone Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster. The ASA 500N telescope with the FLI PL16803 CCD camera and its 65x65 arcseconds field of view seems the perfect match for objects of this size. This image results from only 14 frames with a total exposure of 1 hour and 40 minutes.
