Description

NGC 2174 - The Monkey Head Nebula

A re-edit of data captured March of this year (2021).

Yet another project that I captured Ha data to incorporate into my images through LRGB filters, but could never quite get it to work...until the new module in StarTools came along, allowing narrowband data to be (almost) seamlessly merged with my normal LRGB data...really like the results after adding the Ha data.
