Description

NGC 2174 (also known as Monkey Head Nebula) is an H II emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175.

Im still only figuring out narrow band processing and this image is SHO only. Starts are all white but I will capture RGB versions and do a re-process at a future date to add full colour stars. Weather here in Ireland has been awful for about 2 weeks now. Might get a day or two next month fingers crossed.
