IC2177 Seagull Nebula (2 panel mosaic)

Like most of my Summer Targets, this one has been several years in the making. The Seagull Nebula has felt like a bit of a white whale for me for a long time. I've tried to image it several times, and I have tended to start it every season, but I've never been able to actually finish it.



No More.



I've caught this Cetacean, and made it mine (finally).



This is a 2 panel mosaic, taken with the Tak and 2600MM. I stacked it with 2x Drizzle and processed at that resolution. I cropped to a 3:4 aspect ratio as that was the closest to the full image, then resampled it to 50% to upload to Astrobin. The full sized 2x Drizzle mosaic is over 300 megapixels; which even I will admit, is a little bit ridiculous.



Be sure to check it out on Astrobin.



As always C&C is very welcome!



Thanks for looking, enjoy and Clear Skies!
