Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone Nebula Final Image added

This is a bit better than the last attempt but it is about 3.5 hrs of exposure with 15 minute subs.
The image was captured with a QHY8Pro, Takahashi FSQ106ED on a G11 mount.

This is another very dusty area of sky and with this faint nebula it is dificult to extract it from the surrounding Dust. Maybe some Ha would help this image but at this stage I am quite happy that I have captured so much and still maintained star colour.

Comments welcomed

Final image added. This is now a NB blend of 2 hrs of Ha.
