Here’s the last image taken with my ASI2600MM Pro camera right before the power port broke. I just got it back from repair yesterday. The Cone Nebula still looks great considering that I didn’t get more subs due to 📷 failure.

A bit of seasonal fun with two "Christmas images". First the #ChristmasTreeCluster #NGC2264 and connected #ConeNebula altered to mix RGB and SHO palettes across a 2 panel mosaic and then #M42 which always shouts "Its a turkey!!" at me when I catch it 🤣 #astrophotography #astronomy #EAA 🔭
A breathtaking close-up of the Cone Nebula's blunted head, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image showcases vibrant red and blue hues of glowing hydrogen gas and dark dust pillars sculpted by stellar winds from the massive star NGC 2264 IRS (off-image). This region, about 2.5 light-years across, is a stellar nursery within the larger NGC 2264 star-forming region in Monoceros.

Stunning astrophotography image of Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner gracefully positioned between the Rosette Nebula (upper left) and the Cone Nebula (lower right). The comet's debris causes the annual Draconid meteor shower, peaking tonight. While meteor rates are unpredictable, this year offers optimal viewing conditions due to a nearly absent moon.

A stunning infrared image of the Cone Nebula captured by the Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) after recent repairs. The image reveals fainter stars embedded within the nebula's dust clouds, previously hidden from visible light observation. The false-color image shows a half light-year across section of the nebula, 2,500 light-years away. Four brighter stars with diffraction spikes are visible in the foreground.

Infrared image of the Cone Nebula and the surrounding Snowflake Cluster (NGC 2264) captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The image showcases the turbulent star formation process, with bright stars illuminating the gas and dust clouds. The Cone Nebula is distinctly visible, pointing towards a bright star in the center, while numerous other stars from the cluster dot the field. The scene is set against a backdrop of countless stars, creating a stunning celestial display in the Monoceros constellation, approximately 2,500 light-years away.

A stunning image of the Cone Nebula in Monoceros, showcasing its 7 light-year tall pillar of dust and gas where stars are born. Captured with 24 hours of exposure using a half-meter telescope in Chile, the image reveals the nebula's reddish glow from hydrogen gas and the surrounding stars. The massive star NGC 2264 IRS, off the top of the image, is likely sculpting the cone.
