Description

The aptly-named Monkey Head Nebula. Hubble shot a portion of this nebula for its 24th anniversary. Its a great target to shoot and process. Nice and bright with some interesting, wispy pillars and star forming regions. It's located in one of the few portions of Orion that I can image from my backyard. Comments are always welcome.

Description: Went back and ran it through Topaz Denoise, and then made some saturation and contrast adjustments.
