Description

Most probably the last nebula image from my back garden until after summer ends in northern hemisphere. Next week sees full moon and clocks changing to BST as the nebulae of winter fade westwards. This was a 2 evening bonus, 4hours of data.

From my friend Wiki

NGC 2174 is an H II emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth.
