Description

NGC 2170 region in HaRGB. In addition to NGC 2170, this field also contains NGC 2182, VdB 68,VdB 69 and LBN 999.

This is an interesting region containing a variety of reflection and emission nebula. I "stumbled" across this region while doing some test frames with a new widefield setup and noticed that it would a good test for a narrowfield frame. It is located about an hour east of M42. It has a significant amount of dust in the frame, but sky conditions did not allow a deep imaging of the background.
