NGC2174 (The Monkey Head)

[astro mick]

Hi.

Had a fairly good session last night,stayed clear for around 5hrs.Moonlight of course played its part,but not too bad.

This is an image taken with my ED 80 and WO 73 using my Atik 314L+ mono ccd.

The Nebulae was first imaged in H-Alpha,for around 3hrs.I then took around 2hrs worth of RGB.

Intergrated the Ha with the RGB at about 75%.

Fully calibrated with Bias and Flats.Dont think I need darks.

I only really wanted the RGB for the stars,and star colours,so not too much variation of colour within the Nebulae.

Thanks.

Mick.
