NGC 2264 refers to both the Christmas Tree Cluster (center) and the Cone Nebula (on top of the tree).
Photo was taken with wide field Askar300/F5 Pro telescope, ASI2600MM Pro camera, Chroma 5nm narow-band SII, Ha, OIII filters. Captured with NINA 24X600sec sub-frames of each filter (two moonless nights). Integrated in Astro Pixel Processor, edited in Photoshop. C&C as always welcome.

Thank you Greg. ". . . Appropriate for the day too!" - few days ago, getting ready for the holiday, I remembered the Christmas Tree star cluster and checked out Stellarium for its position through the night and it was good time to capture the whole nebula.
