It’s that time of the year again! Presenting the Christmas Tree and Cone Nebula wide view, but with twist! A custom color palette.
The iconic NGC 2264, featuring the Christmas Tree Cluster and the Cone Nebula. The dense star cluster, shaped like a festive tree, is surrounded by wisps of gas and dust, creating a stunning contrast. The Cone Nebula, a dark, pillar-like formation, adds an element of mystery as it juts out from the surrounding clouds.
