Seagull Nebula - IC 2177 Reprocessed

I liked this so much I have an aluminized print in both Prescott, Az and Borrego Springs. I did the original processing for this image in 2016, but just updated it in the last few days (January, 2023). The original images were taken through a Rokinon 135mm lens by the folks at Deep Sky West Remote Observatory in Rowe, New Mexico. I have one of those Rokinon telephoto's and this reminds me that I ought to pull it outside and do some imaging work with it. Quite a big has changed since 2016, so this was in need of a refresh.

This image is now available as a ready to hang Aluminized Metal Print through my online store at the website address shown below.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
