Description

NGC 2174 is an emission nebula in Orion. It is known as the Monkey Head Nebula due to its shape.

NGC 2174 is a great target for medium to large telescopes and is fairly easy to capture from the city using the right filters.

This is about 10 hours of exposure from our Bortle 9 backyard in Las Vegas.
