Comments:

The cone is one of my favorite objects. First saw it in an astronomy book when I was 8 years old. At that time, all deep space astrophotos were black and white...

Color corrected using eXcalibrator system. So the colors are as accurate as I know how to make them... Additional processing in PhotoShop...
