NGC 2170 - Angel Nebula

NGC 2170 - Angel Nebula

Another object that I have wanted to image since starting this hobby. Thank goodness for a site like Starfront to be able to image at pristine skies.

NGC 2170 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Monoceros. It is part of a larger star-forming region and lies approximately 2,400 light-years away from Earth.

NGC 2170 is just the blue nebula below the orange-red nebula. It is joined by other bluish reflection nebulae, a red emission region, many dark absorption nebulae, and a backdrop of colorful stars
