Description

Monkey Head nebula in Orion. NGC2174. SHO palette. SII 6x480sec, Ha 6x420sec, Oiii 6x420sec. I had never captured the Monkey Head and it's late in the season but I wanted to practice narrowband. I didn't know that it would work with just 2.2h of integration so I didn't use any calibration frames; I need to take some new dark frames. Also, the wind was blowing good and I got long stars. There is some banding and I tried to mask some of the amp glow. I will likely go back and redo calibrated at a certain point.
