Ic2177

It was a busy time this last new moon period. Over the course of a couple of nights I gathered this data for IC2177 commonly known as the Seagull Nebula.

The nebula is located on the border of Monoceros and Canis Major at a distance of 3600 light years. It is mainly an emission nebula but does contain some reflection nebula which makes the whole area contain some really cool colours.

I might get some more data in the next cycle if I can, but for now I am pretty happy with this image.
