Description

Not too happy with the star removal for some of the bright stars in the stars reduced version.

I will have to do some more work on that.

I have included the full stars version as well.

From Wikipedia

NGC 2174 (also known as Monkey Head Nebula) 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.
