Description

IC2169  is a large reflection nebula in Monoceros and the surrounding objects, Ha region, dark nebula and beautiful stars present an  amazing cosmic show. I  take a picture of IC2169 every year, this time I framed the image to capture the surrounding smaller nebulae. I actually shot this photo while I was waiting for my target to rise on Feb 8. So I gave it only 3.2 hours of integration with good results.
