Monkey Head under a Supermoon NGC2175

Also from SE London.

I have resisted imaging this target up until now as I thought it was rather boring, but faced with a clear night, on the night of a full Supermoon, I didn't have a lot of choice of targets.  It was due to cloud up at around 11.30, so this was as much as I could get.

 Nice Monkey Carole, one of those targets that looks like it's name, I haven't imaged it since the neighbours trees grew too high

Thanks Dave.

Wonderful Carole! 

What are the narrowband filters you use? 5nm? 3nm?

Thanks Astro Buer.

Baader: Ha 7nm, Oiii 8.5nm, Sii 8nm.

Astrodon smaller wavelength seems to produce the best results, but I refuse to squander that amount of money.

I'm sorry Carole, but i am struggling to see what is boring about this wonderful image,

Well I guess its an example of "beauty being in the eye of the beholder", but I think it is lacking in interesting detail.

Boring or not I cannot say, having not seen it with my own eyes* nor with my camera (not got it attached to anything yet)

All I can say is that your image is very fine indeed

* I have never looked for that cluster (mostly I seem to gravitate to the M35 region ) so thank you for a new aspiration, as for the nebulosity- I wonder - will I be able to see it with a 9.25 > wanders off  >> to have a google, thanks Carole, very interesting.
