Description

A bright HII emission nebula, NGC 2174, displays some great intricate details as to how the gases interact.  It is a big DSO, larger than the full moon.  Another great aspect of NGC 2174 is the presence of an open cluster of stars embedded into the gases of the nebula, designated NGC 2175.   Once I get clear skies during a low or new moon, I plan to complete a palette of this beautiful object.
