The image is an 8 1/2 hour narrowband exposure done using a TeleVue NP127is telescope and a QSI583wsg CCD camera on a CGE PRO mount. I took the image from Calgary Alberta. Camera control and preprocessing was done through ImagesPlus. Processing was done through PixInsight with final touch-up, as required, through Photoshop. Guiding was through PHD2 and a Lodestar camera. Set against the backdrop of a stylised nebulas Christmas tree it is easy to see how this Open Cluster got its name. What I like about this region of the sky is that in addition to the Christmas Tree Cluster, this image has several other prominent objects in it including the Cone Nebula and the Fox Fur Nebula.
