The Monkey Head Nebula - NGC2174

The monkey head nebula - ngc2174 is an emission nebula located in the Orion Constellation. It is associated with the stellar cluster ngc2175. It was given this name as you can see well from the photo, the face of a monkey.
I decided to process this photo with the Hubble Palette technique, and therefore, with fake colors to highlight better the emission areas of the various chemical elements that compose the nebula.
