Description

IC 2177 (more commonly referred as the Seagull Nebula) is a region of nebulosity that lies along the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. It is mainly an HII emission nebula shaped in the form of a very big bird, that includes NGC 2327, commonly referred as the Parrot Head Nebula.

This image was captured during november and december of 2019. Because Halpha light is predominant in the nebula, i had to increase the exposition time of the OIII subs, to get more color variation. The nebula covers a vast region of the sky, so i centered in its central part.

This is a narrowband HOO Palette version, so the colors appear more natural and close to the way the nebula look in RGB light.
