Monkey Head Nebula
This photo was taken from Silchester, Hampshire, UK (51.35 long, 1.06667 lat).on 24 September 2013 between 11.30pm and 12.00am.
The photo is composed of 20 exposures of 75 seconds at ISO 6400 with 8 dark frames subtracted and all stacked using Deepskystacker.
The Monkey Head Nebula (NGC 2175) is a small emission nebula located in the constellation Orion. In my opinion, this nebula really does resemble it's name (although to me it looks more like a human skull).
My equipment is a modified Canon EOS 1100D, a Sky Watcher ED80 telescope and an EQ3-2 Mount with an RA motor. I also used a UHC filter.
