IC2177 | First Time on The Seagull Nebula

The weather forecast all night to be clear so I chose the Bubble area as my main target, but decided to try getting some data on the Seagull as I rarely have the chance to image it due to trees.

Unfortunately, after only an hour the clouds started to appear and soon after that they just kept getting thicker so I packed up for the night.

I didn't realise how faint the Seagull is until I started to process it, and trying to show the structure without bringing out too much noise was a challenge.

I'm happy that I managed to get an image of the Seagull but that'll probably be it until I'm able to see it for longer each night.

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.
