Description

A new one for me and my collection.  This is IC 2162 or the Lower's Nebula.  A little Googling around the internet and I found the name comes from the Lower's family who were a group of amateur astronomers and telescope makers back in the late 1930's.  This is an interesting object to be sure.  One I will need to come back and image with one of my mono camera's and a SHO filter set.  Nice details in the gas clouds with interesting patterns due to the varying densities.

Enjoy!
