NGC 2174 - The Monkey Head Nebula in the Hubble Narrowband Color Palette
NGC 2174 is an HII emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. It is thought to be located about 6400 light-years away from earth.

The open star cluster NGC 2175 can be seen in this image at the bottom-center of the nebulous region of the Monkey Head.

On the upper-left side of the image is the emission nebula SH2-247.

This is a narrowband false-color image of the nebula, where Red = SII, Green = Ha and Blue = OIII
