Description

This is an image of the Monkey Head Nebula, NGC 2174, in Orion. It was taken the night of January 13, 2024 from my backyard in the New Mexico Astronomy Village near Deming, New Mexico. Twelve 600-second exposures were taken through SII, Ha, and OIII filters to capture the nebulosity. The stars were recorded using short 10-second exposures through RGB filters. The telescope used was a Stellarvue SVX180T refractor and the camera was a ZWO ASI6200MM. The SHO image is rendered in the Hubble 3 palette.
