NGC2261, NGC2259, NGC2264 almost dead Loss

Hi,

Posting how hard to capture in suburbia. Wanted to try Cone Nebula and Christmas tree Cluster, but was almost a complete loss.

Need a bigger scope and darker skies and possibly a better camera. Stars are good the guiding process is improving but getting some really nasty hum bars across the image. Need to do something to improve this.

After DSS was a confused whether I got the centre of the Nebula although nova.astrometry.net confirmed I was spot on

Not worth posting a bigger version.
