Description

The Monkey Head Nebula, NGC 2174, is an HII emission nebula that lies 6400 light years away in the constellation of Orion. It spans nearly 75 light years wide. Stellar winds from the newly formed stars help to shape and to give the brightly glowing gasses structure. A new take on a pseudo-natural color palette using Ha, OIII and SII Astrodon filters, and RGB for star color. The scope was an Explore Scientific 127 APO triplet and ASI1600mm Pro camera.
