NGC 2174, OSC and NBZ combination

[tomato]

This is a ridiculously short integration on the Monkey Head Nebula, 15 x 2 mins RGB and 9 x 4 mins NBZ with the Esprit 150/IMX 571 rig. Calibrated and stacked in APP, binned 25% in StarTools then processed in PI, creating a pseudo Hubble palette from the RGB channels. It's not surprising with just over an hour's worth of data that the background is quite blotchy.

I think I know where the monkey (baboon?) features are supposed to be but they don't appear very prominent to me, needs more data?

Thanks for looking
