NGC 2175

[VikN46]

Taken 15th/16th February 2016

This was last nights attempt, this time of year Orion in perfectly placed and is visible for most of the night.

 

I decided on this target as it often gets over looked by the more popular Horsehead and Orion Nebula

The night was full of guiding problems and it was nearly 11pm by the time it started to behave itself.

 

Hoping I might get a chance to add some OIII and SII to it later this week, if everything behaves that is

 

As always it looks a bit better in Flickr!

Nice result!

That's great. All too often this target seems to pop out of the background sky all at once but, here, we see it emerge gradually in the lower part of the frame. Nearly 4 hours, binned, makes for serious signal.

Very nice image with lots of good detail.
