NGC2174 - Monkey Head Nebula in Ha

Hi
This is a work in progress and is the Ha data taken last night, it is 10x30 minutes Ha taken with the FSQ106ED at f5 and FLI ML8300, autoguiding was done by a lodestar and OAG using dithering on a Paramount ME. This is a crop of the main image to show the detail of the nebula. I have only ever shot one sub frame of this before over 3 years ago when I was trying a 20 minute unguided sub frame, this can be seen on the nebulae page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk for comparison. I am hoping to add some OIII and SII later this week.
A full size version of this crop can be seen at the following link

It definitely looks like a monkeys head in profile!
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon
