IC 443 on the left, is popularly known as the Jellyfish Nebula and was shot in an earlier image with Sharpless 249 here. The FOV also allowed for IC443 to be captured with another popular nebula, NGC 2174, the Monkey Head nebula. NGC 2174 is an emission in Orion and encloses the open star cluster NGC 2175. It is estimated to be about 6400 light-years away. At that distance, it lies further away from the huge Orion Molecular Cloud and is therefore not associated with the latter. Both nebulae are popular narrow-band targets, As a little bonus, the little blob above NGC 2174 is its own Sharpless object, SH2-247.
