Reflecting back on the Monkey Head my early learnings of deep-sky objects, some millions of light-years away from earth. As we approach fall this DSO becomes available to me west of the meridian, zenith to the Orion Hunter constellation. This portion of the morning sky is loaded with dso to image.
NGC 2174 (also known as Monkey Head Nebula) is an H II emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth. The nebula may have formed through hierarchical collapse.
