NGC2174 in Ha

[MikeD]

Hi All.

Seems like an age since I was last out in the obs.

Clear skies/full moon so Ha was the only option.

NGC2174 the monkey head neb.

29 @ 5 min's through my 10" newt and HX916 CCD.

The plan was to swicth to image with the 80Ed and get it all in, but as usual I could not bring myself to pull away from the higher resolution of the newt.

The very bright moon must still kill the contrast to some extent even in Ha but I am pleased that everthing still works and I rememberd how to use it .

Just changed the title from NGC2175 To 2174 as 2175 is the open cluster not the neb.
