Description

Widefield image of two beautiful emission nebulae, Seagull Nebula ( IC2177) in Monoceros and Thor's Helmet Nebula (NGC 2359) in Canis Major. The Seagull is also referred to as Parrot nebula. Image was an integration of several hours taken on two consecutive days in a bortle 2-3 dark location in the Fayoum desert in Egypt. A dual narrow band filter was used to isolate Ha and OIII signal and eliminate any light pollution. I wanted to display the majestic beauty of this night sky bird complemented by its neighboring smaller DSO by rendering a different more vibrant color pallet using HOO color mapping, where Ha was mapped to Red and OIII was mapped to Green and Blue.
