The above sketch is a close-up of the binocular view of NGC 2174 (RA 06hr 09.7', Dec. +20 30'). North is up. West is to the right. The sketch covers an area approximately 30 minutes of arc across. This nebula appeared considerably fainter in the binoculars than shown in the sketch. It was difficult to ascertain its edges. A bay-like structure was visible in the southwest. Fainter nebulosity extended southward from the brighter region.
