This is an image I have been collecting data for the last couple of months. It is of IC2177 or the Seagull nebula. My field of view does not encompass the entire nebula, in fact far from it, but it does give a close up view of the head and shoulders of the nebula.
The nebula contains mainly emission, but also dark and reflection nebulosity. The reflection nebulosity is my main interest here. There are faint wisps through the upper part of the image and these give a nice 3D look to the image.
The image contains 24.7 hours of data which includes L, Ha, OIII, SII and RGB. The OIII in the image is quite scant which only a small section to the lower right having a very slight amount of data there.
