Description

This is a closeup of the bright emission nebula IC2177 focused on the head  and body of the "seagull". For this rendering I used what looks to me as a more natural mapping of the narrow band data:

Red: 0.75 * Ha + 0.25 * SII
Green: 0.5 * SII + 0.5 * OIII
Blue: OIII

I have replaced the narrow band stars with their RGB counterparts. Given the fiery look of this mapping, I think of this version as the "Phoenix".
