Monkey Head Nebula NGC 2174

This emission nebula in Orion looks like a monkey's head, I guess.

 

Tech Stuff: Borg 71 FL/Borg 1.08 flattener/ZWO ASI 1600 MC/ IDAS LPS V4 filter/ iOptron CubePro mount. 42 minutes of unguided 8 second exposures captured in LiveStacks with SharpCap, processed in PixInsight, and finished in ACDSee. From my yard in Westchester. For comparison here's the same target captured almost 5 years ago with a different camera, filter and technique -- note the dramatic improvement in the appearance of the stars www.flickr.com/photos/124244349@N07/33800363290/in/photol...
