      The Christmas Tree Cluster/Cone Nebula (NGC2264)

      I spent a lot of time debating how I should use this amazing variety of data before I decided to blend all three continuum-subtracted narrowband (starless) masters with an LRGB image. Although Bernard Miller has provided HSOLRGB datasets before, this option didn't seem right. This time it seems exactly right. And, well, PhotometricContinuumSubtraction saved a lot of work.

      Processed using PixInsight with FBPP, SPFC/MGC, SPCC, BXT, NXT, SXT, MAS, PhotometricContinuumSubtraction, ImageBlend, GHS, and Affinity Photo 2.
