Seagull Nebula Ha+OSC IC 2177 Askar 400

First attempt to add OSC color data with Ha enhancement with the new Askar 400 scope with the 0.7x focal reducer to get to 280 mm focal length. I am quite happy with how the new rig has preformed for grab and go platform. The stars have been better than I expected when looking at the color aberration and effects of using a focal reducer.

I have not had a lot of time to edit lately, so it was nice to get a chance to sit and complete this edit.

It was also fun to see this dso at several different focal lengths at 135 mm and 400mm respectively.

Nebula Details:
IC 2177 known as the Seagull Nebula (my kids think it is a Dragon from how to train your dragon) is a predominantly hydrogen emission nebula but also has a fair of amount of oxygen emission. The formation is located approximately 3,600 light years from earth in the constellations of Monoceros and Canis Major. The formation includes several open clusters including NGC 2327 seagull’s head, NGC 2335 at the left wing tip, SH2-297 is another emission nebula on the right wing tip, SH2-295 above the right wing.

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.
