Christmas Tree from Atacama

[APO_Team]

Hi everyone !

It's quite difficult to find a Christmas tree in Atacama unless we look the sky
That's what we've done for this 2 pictures mosa (2 fields => 4°x2°) taken from San Pedro de Atacama.

You'll find all the informations at this page: http://www.atacama-photographic-obse...hoto.php?id=58
And if you want to have a look at the full size picture, it's here: http://www.atacama-photographic-obse..._ngc2264_f.jpg

Merry Christmas to all of you !!

Superb field of a very faint part of the sky. I'm impressed with that reflection nebula on the right and how good the colors came up. Dream location to image from for sure.

Very nice region that's for sure, nicely captured!

guys !
This field is full of objects and is a real pleasure for the eyes.
I just put 3 of them on our website but it could have been much longer: ldn1609, ngc2264, ic2169... and the golden cluster in the center is Tr5...
