Description

As a side project, I have been attempting a wide-field image of the Seagull nebula, primarily to capture the extensive Ha emission around the nebula, out to - and including - Thor's Helmet.

So far i have collected over 60000secs in H and O and I thought I might post the result. A lot was taken in rather indifferent conditions - bright moon and lots of thin cloud.  But 9+ hours with an f/2 system should go reasonably deep?  I have posted both a starless and a "normal" image, as I am not sure which I prefer.  A fair bit of colour manipulation has been applied to the HOO image, as I wanted to see how might like the SHO image I could get it.  

I will update with the SII data when I finally get it, but I though I would post now as I always find my AB friends' comments helpful.
