Description

IC2177 Seagull Nebula
The IC2177 Seagull Nebula is an H II region located 3,650 light-years from Earth. The combined H II region, reflection nebula, and dust clouds stretch about 240 light-years across. The head of the seagull is nebula NGC2327. Open cluster NGC 2343 is just below the center of the image, and open cluster NGC2335 is just to the left of center. North is to the left.

ZWO Duo filter used for Luminance channel, (D)RGB. I believe it helped reduce sky-glow from crescent moon.
