NGC 2174 tonight

by Philip Terzian

A nice night for imaging. Took this photo from my back yard in Cupertino using some narrow-band filters.

This nebula is near IC443 (Jellyfish) in the constellation Gemini. Has a nice reflection component which accounts for the bluish coloration in the center.

Right at the Zenith at sundown. Very cool.
