Description

NGC2174 Monkey Head nebula
I stared into the head of the monkey for more than sixteen hours, hoping to find intelligent life, only to find gas and dust.

This is my second attempt on this strange shaped, but beautiful nebula located in the constellation Orion with the open star cluster NCC 2175 inside more than 6000 lightyears away.
