Description

Here's IC2177 the Seagull Nebula, captured at home here during a brief clear spell in the evening before the clouds rolled back in. This is a broadband rendition, aiming to bring out the various reflection and dark nebulae alongside the red stuff. I've also let the stars shine fairly brightly (it's a shame they're not perfect in their roundness, but there we are!).  The Seagull only gets to 23 degrees altitude here, and I get a little light pollution to the south, so I'm reasonably pleased with the result, although I'm sure it would benefit from a bit more work.
