NGC 2170 Angel Nebula
My first time processing this region — a star-forming field like an ink-wash painting. Located in Monoceros, the area contains emission nebulae, reflection nebulae and dark nebulae; some call this expanse, spanning dozens of light-years, the "Angel Nebula".
About 11 hours through a 13cm telescope. Thanks to modern technology, molecular clouds barely brighter than the sky background were recorded too, and with careful processing they share the frame with the Angel itself.
