Description

NGC2174/2175 Monkey Head Nebula in SHO

Clear skies have never been so precious to me until my new Sharpstar 150 2.8 HNT telescope arrived, I was finally able to play with it after peaking through patches of clouds nights after nights.

7.5 hrs total integration acquired across 5 nights, between 14 Jan 2021 to 13 Feb 2021 on a bortle 8 balcony. After attempting a few different exposures it seems that 540s Sii 300s Ha and 540s Oiii works out better for my imaging setup.

Sii 7 x 300s 19 x 540s

Ha 5 x 540s 13 x 300s

Oiii 7 x 300s 11 x 540s
