Description

IC2177 in Narrowband

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, for me IC 2177 has a majestic avian presence, with it's ethereal curtains of Ha drifting in Stellar winds.

Revisiting the region I have previously imaged but now as a 7 panel mosaic to free the subject and allow this bird space to fly!

There's a nice Herbig Haro object in the upper right hand side, and maybe a few more objects of interest for the scientifically minded throughout the field.

Data gathered over three months from suburban Melbourne, Australia.

Ha 5nm 50 x 1800secs

O3 3nm 16 x 900secs Binx2

S2 3nm 16 x 900secs Binx2

RGB 15 x 60sec ea per panel (315 subs!)

Absolute nightmare to register, even using registar my laptop feinted several times!

However, like the little engine that could I kept at it and eventually got the image together

C&C welcome
