Description

This is an unprocessed, other than stacking and stretching of NGC 2174. I started this project last night and will gather more data and later publish a final image of NGC 2174. In the last few months, when I gather an evening of data, I initially load it and stack it in stand alone ASTAP. I use ASTAP, because it will analyze the subs and stack them to give me an idea of how the data looks. I do this initially, because it will not only analyze, stack and plate solve, but use data from the Minor Planet Center to identify any asteroids or comets that I may have accidently caught in the image. I've done this to much of my past data with out identifying anything until last night's data on NGC 2174, when it spotted two asteroids in the rough image. So, I am presenting this more as an asteroid image than an image of NGC 2174 which I will publish after I gather more data and process in PI and/or APP.
