Description

This is a one-night data collection of NGC2174 I had on a clear night early this month. Most of the posted images of this one are cropped, close images; I opted for a wider field here. With my limited focal length, I do not have as much resolution and detail on the main nebula. Mostly, though, I liked the view with the small, nearby spherical emission nebula. I think it's a fun view that is relatively less common.
