IC2177 Seagull Nebula mosaic

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Had a few clear nights recently so decided to dust off the gear and capture some photons. This is a 2x3 mosaic of the Seagull Nebula in Ha. I've imaged it before as a single frame, but it's a big nebula and I think this framing is much more appealing. As always, need more data, and RGB. Very quick processing for now, so a few artifacts from the mosaic creation I think. Don't look too closely

Busted my guts on this one last night with little result.

You have done well.

Nice framing

Yes it's huge!

I too have working on this for the past few months.
Today I went to assemble the two panels I have collected 11 hrs full NB data on each but...
now I realize it needs another three panels to balance the content.

Kill me now .....

Excellent big field, Troy. You messed up the timing though. Tough to compete with Mikey's version

I agree, I love that bit..that's the IC 2177 bit in fact

Hey it ain't no competition mate, your shot is great, sharp and defined

That's a great wide field Troy. Plenty of faint nebula right out to the edge of the image.
