Description

NGC 2149 is a reflection nebula, 1300 light years away in Monoceros. It is rarely imaged, have not seen many images of it anywhere. 
The field of view has some fascinating checkerboard dark nebulosity which I found very unusual!

Imaged in LRGB at Observatorio El Sauce, Obstech, Chile on the RiDK 400
Integration time: 32 hours
