NGC 2175 The Monkyheadnebula looks down

Hey boys and girls,
After 3 months of bad weather there was finally a way to point the telescope towards the stars again.
And that on my vacation and without a moon!
A dream! 🤩
The choice fell on the Monkey Head Nebular in LRGB.

NGC 2175 is actually an open star cluster with gas nebula and interstellar matter in the northeastern part of the Orion constellation.
The emission nebula IC 2159, which surrounds the star cluster NGC 2175, is also known as Monkey Head Nebula.
The object was probably observed by Giovanni Battista Hodierna before 1654, but this is not certain.
That is why the German astronomer Karl Christian Bruhns is considered the discoverer who observed the object in 1857.
The star cluster with its glowing gas plumes is approximately 5300Lj. removed.

I dedicate this picture to Lars, who repaired my broken filter wheel.🙏

I also tried the new BlueXTerminator tool. A powerful and ingenious tool!

Hope you like my LRGB version of the Monkey Head Nebula? Even if he looks underneath 😅
I just like this representation better.
It was a relief to take a picture again after such a long forced break.
Kind regards and clear sky

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
