Description

My first attempt of capturing and processing the Christmas Tree Nebula, NGC2264. I know that I need to capture a lot more data on this and perhaps I will use my EON130 instead of the ASKAR 65PHQ and use a couple of panels if need be. 

Anyway, I like this color arrangement better than just all red as I have seen others do. Not that they are bad but I just like to be different, haha. 

I started out taking 20-25 x 600 sec shots but many were deleted due to various reasons but I will capture more data at 600 sec shots once the clouds move out again.
