I braved the cold and intermittent clouds last night to take my first frames in almost two months. This is emission nebula NGC 2174, open cluster NGC 2175 and SH2-247 off on the upper left. Imaged through the Stellarvue SV90T at f5.6 with the ST-10XME CCD and Astrodon 6nm Ha filter.

Larger images and more details can be found here:

Thanks for looking and for any feedback.

Phil

Phil,
Really nice, and love that FOV. Makes for a great composition with nice differences between the two subjects. Those highlights really give it great depth.

Very nice, Phil! As others have mentioned I don't quite see the monkey head in this one, but be that as it may it's a nice image!
