Angel Nebula NGC 2170

Clear night last night but none of the targets I wanted to shoot were going to be visible all night so I went after two for a shorter time than I’d have liked.

First one was the Angel Nebula NGC 2170, a reflection nebula about 2400 - 2700 lightyears away. This thing is faint and while I got just over four hours imaging on it, I think I’m going to go back for more if I get another clear night soon.
