Christmas Tee Cluster, Fox Fur and Cone Nebulae
What says the holiday season more than the Christmas Tree Cluster, Fox Fur Nebula, and the Cone Nebula? I processed this to be part of a series of Christmas cards this year. I went heavy on the reds for that reason. There was only a single blue sub, I stretched it as far as it would go and then some lol!
