My take on NGC 2174!

About 5 hours total integration – 4 hours narrowband 120s exposures + 1 hour broadband 120s exposures for star color and a little bit of blue contrast in the nebula core.

Captured with my typical narrowband / high light pollution rig – Celestron 8SE, ZWO ASI533MC, Hyperstar v3 f/2.1, SkyWatcher EQ6-R, Optolong L-Ultimate 2”. Captured in NINA, stacked in SIRIL, processed in PixInsight.

    Good shot, but I don’t think you need 120 s expsosures for stars. You don’t have much star color. Try much shorter subs.
