Imaging the Cone

[pmrid]

Well, it's the Xmas Tree after all isn't it? And there had to be a present which turned out to be Hubble's Variable Nebula. Can you spot it in this Ha? And just to remind myself why I suffered from aperture fever for such a long time, here is one I prepared earlier.

EDIT: a bit of colour - a HSO - couldn't get the blues to come out but I have much to learn about masking so I'll revisit this data sometime later.

That's a beautiful capture Peter.
