Description

NGC2170, aka The Angel Nebula. Newtonian Astrograph Version. OSC camera.

A very faint complex of emission, reflection and dark nebulae in the constellation Monoceros. It´s hard to acquire the data and also hard to process it. I tried 8 different workflows to get to this final image and it´s a bit far from what I was expecting, in a bad way :-). But given the complexity of the target, I am happy.
One curious note: blur xterminator actually worsened this image (I tried also with the exact psf, not just auto mode), so this processing went without it.
