I guess a result of correct exposure.
It is amazing just how many stars wide field images reveal.

And yes the Seagull is there, albeit a long way out to sea.
Most close ups show it to be a red nebula and again your exposure has shown that as well.

Well done!
Thanks Peter. I always try to give my highlights plenty of headspace to keep the colours intact. I love colourful starfields, and Nangar had the darkest skies I've ever seen to help bring them out. Would really love to get back there this year. We also spent time in the Warrumbungles, which was more convenient and accommodating by far, but Nangar is really dark (and closer to Canberra).
cheers,
