Description

I’ve been out with my celestial crayons again! This is NGC 2170, The Angel Nebula, a collection of red emission nebulae, bluish reflection nebulae and dark absorption nebulae.  It’s in the constellation of Monoceros (The Unicorn) around 2000 light years away. It’s another faint one, with little detail showing up on the individual sub exposures.  Captured in between the clouds over the last 6 weeks.
