This astrophotography image showcases NGC 2170, also known as the Angel Nebula, located in the constellation Monoceros. Captured using narrowband filters (SII, Ha, OIII) and processed in the Hubble palette, the image reveals stunning details of reflection nebulae with their characteristic blue-green glow mixed with reddish emission regions. The nebula complex shows dark dust lanes creating wing-like structures, embedded bright stars, and surrounding molecular clouds. The technical execution using a ZWO ASI533MM Pro monochrome camera paired with a TMB-92 APO refractor demonstrates dedicated imaging from a backyard observatory.
