Christmas Tree Nebula
The Christmas Tree Nebula (NGC 2264) has been captured using the SHO (Sulfur, Hydrogen, and Oxygen) narrowband imaging technique. The nebula is glowing predominantly in green, due to the strong emission from ionized hydrogen. The structure of the nebula is intricate, with a dark, conical region at the top surrounded by swirling gas and dust, and numerous bright stars scattered throughout the field.
