Description

This is the first light with my new telescope! I'm overall happy with the results. The colors came out nice, but the background is a little darker than I wanted.



NGC 2174 is an H II emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth. The nebula may have formed through hierarchical collapse.
