Description

Monkey Head Nebula, NGC 2174 and the open cluster NGC 2175.

This was the first image taken with my ASI533MC-Pro camera with my Canon 600mm f4 prime lens mounted on my iOptron CEM70. I decided to reprocess this from scratch with my newly acquired techniques and workflow. I used APP to split the Ha and OIII channels to mono and processed them as HOO with a synthetic green channel in Photoshop. I'm  not entirely happy with the central region containing the cluster so I may revisit this to make it less washed out.
