Description

This is the first time that I've imaged this object. For me the image was very difficult to process. In fact if I were to make a list of difficult objects to process this would be at the top of my list. However I did get an image and I'm pleased with it. I think I can do better when the moisture is not as heavy as it was tonight and there is no Moon up. With all of that said please enjoy my first image of IC 2177.

Description: I've not been able to do any imaging due to rain and clouds. I decided to get a little practice processing. I reprocessed this image beginning with aligning and stacking in Deep Sky Stacker. I was attempting to improve the star field and hopefully bring out more nebulosity detail. I like this star field better than the original but I'm not sure I brought out any more nebulosity. This is a difficult object for an unmodified dslr camera and no Ha filter.
