Description

The Seagull Nebula, known more formally as IC 2177, is a complex object with a bird-like shape that is made up of three large clouds — Sharpless 2-292 forms the “head”, Sharpless 2-296 comprises the large “wings”, and Sharpless 2-297 is a small knotty region near the right wing tip.

My first attempt at capturing this large bird.

Just squeezed onto the ASI094 sensor, with a FOV of approx 2.4 x 1.6 degrees.

Have tried to blend some 1min subs with 5min subs to retain some star color.
