Description

I twisted it every way possible; nope, I still don't see it.  So, I oriented it in the way that is looks most interesting to me. 

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. It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth. The nebula is an H II region, a large cloud of ionized gas in which new stars are being formed. This low-density cloud is a site of intense star formation.

Shot over 6 nights in late January 2023.
