Having finished decorating your terrestrial Christmas tree this year, you may care to step outside and view a celestial one. Well placed in the December night sky in the often overlooked but very rewarding constellation of Monoceros, NGC 2264, called the Christmas Tree by the American astronomer and writer Leland S. Copeland, lies due south around 1 a.m. in mid-December at an altitude of 50°. The cluster lies amid a vast area of nebulosity, well captured in the image by Gordon Rogers on the cover of this Journal.
