Description

This is my 2nd try at this object, and it was a struggle to get a better image than last year's version. It starts off pretty low in the southern sky, which is in the same direction as the skyglow of the local downtown area. Maybe a light pollution filter next time...

NGC 2170 is a reflection nebula, part of a massive star-forming molecular cloud in Monoceros.
