Cone Nebula area, NGC2264

This H-alpha narrowband image from last night, shows a large area around
the "Cone Nebula". Lots of nebulosity around there.

Cone Nebula, H-alpha

Note the "Hubble's Variable Nebula" at Five a clock position.

(A small cometlike dot in the image)

A Starless version to show the nebulosity better.
False color H-alpha version.
A grop from the center. This lens is very sharp, even full open @f1.8

Weather in this winter has been #&%@$£2 and last night was no exception.
After four hours I managed to save four 20 min. exposures,
others were ruined by the speeding clouds.
