Description

My December 2021 new moon dark-sky target; NGC2170 (Angel Nebula) imaged in LRGB over two nights. It definitely was fainter than I expected but, as dark-sky time is very limited, couldn't go for the usual 30+ hours I do for narrowband. So from the 9.3 hours of useable LRGB data that I got over the two nights, this is what I managed to produce. I'm content with it for the data that I got but at least triple the data would be ideal to help bring out the dark dust lanes surrounding the nebula and just overall clean up the image a bit more.
