IC2177 Seagull in LHaRGB

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Finally got around to adding some luminance and RGB data. Was too excited to finally have an image to process, so this is just a quicky. Can already see some areas to go back and re-work.

Lovely image Troy, the stars particularly look very.. stellar nice natural feel too, great job.

My only minor feedback is, it may look even better with a little more magenta and a little less red in the nebulosity?

Thanks mate. Somehow I knew you were going to say that.

A nice, controlled, gentle image, not forced. Pleasing.

Reckon that from the Central West of NSW, it doesn't look like a seagull. That head and beak makes it more like a cockatoo, laughing because it's just taken another big chunk out of your outdoor furniture.

There's a tiny but two-tailed comet-like nebula toward the edge around 2:30 that I've not noticed before.

Nicely done.

A great looking photo Troy.

Nice composition and detail. Very sharp.

The stars and colours do look very nice.

I do agree with the two Mikes however......could be a bit more magenta and it does look like a cockatoo!

Good luck.
Ross.
