Nebs x 3 in Monoceros.

Merry Christmas to all!

I've imaged the cone nebula region a few times, but never thought about placing Hubble's variable nebula in the frame.
I used data taken in 2012, Nov 2013 and 23rd Dec.

From top right, clockwise.
Hubble's variable nebula.
Cone nebula.
Fox fur nebula.

It was a bit of a trick combining them with slightly different orientations.

Equipment used.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D.

16 x 8 minute and 12 x 5 minute subs ISO 800 &1600, darks, flats and bias frames applied.
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop 7.

Cheers,

Justin.
