This deep-sky astrophotography image showcases NGC2170, a reflection nebula complex in Monoceros. Captured using narrowband filters (SII, Ha, OIII) combined with broadband LRGB data, the image reveals the nebula's characteristic dusty molecular clouds surrounding young stars. The 3.2-hour integration was acquired with a ZWO ASI533MM Pro mono camera through a TMB-92 APO refractor at f/5.5. The processing utilized Python and Syqon Starless AI for star removal, creating a detailed view of the nebular structures against the rich star field.
