Description

Here's an image from Telescope Live's CDK24/QHY600m from Chile of NGC 2170 The Angel Nebula.  It's a reflection Nebula in the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn) lying at a distance, from Earth, of approximately 2,700 light-years.  It's a massive star forming region and is one of the closest to our Sun.  The Angel Nebula is the brightest and westernmost part of the Monoceros R2 giant molecular cloud (Constellation Guide ).
Anyway, hope ya like it!
