The Seagull Nebula

My rendition of IC 2177.

About 6 hours total, 5 min. subs, with Televue NP101, SBIG ST4000XCM (self guided), AP Mach1 GTO and processed with Images Plus and CS3.

Very nice, I like the colors and the framing!

Looks pretty good for framing (I have to say this as it looks almost like my framing ;))

Overall good detail and quite smooth processing.

Only thing I think needs changing is that a lot of the nebulosity looks orange. Perhaps address this and you will have a truly fab image. :thumbsup:

Another fine Seagull there Neale :thumbsup: (looks more like a parrot when framed like this though).

Thanks everyone for you comments.

Framing: Can take no credit, pressed "Go To" and there it was!

Colour: Yes Paul, I was showing it at work yesterday on a good monitor and it looked orange. Will have to address the home monitor now.

Parrot: I agree Mike, a mad parrot though.

Thanks all,

Neale.
