Both are located Monoceros not far from the Rosette Nebula
For the xmas tree imagine a blue tree with bright star on top (at least that is what I do). I recently took a widefield pic of Rosette Xmas Tree/Cone Nebula and Dreyer's Nebula. This shows much more detail. Google Cone Nebula and you will so some far more detailed pics that are extraordinary. Space is just so interesting and beautiful.
