Description

It was hard to catch. At my place it is very near to horizon, at its highest 26°. The transparancy was good, the seeing, espacielly at this high wasn`t.

B is a repaired version of original, especially the background. C is a completely rework. Better stars and some other little mistakes. In this version I stretched the curves for manual colorcalibration per gammalog, in B linear.

IC 2177 is a region of nebulosity that lies along the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. It is a roughly circular HII region centered on the Be star HD 53367. This nebula was discovered by Welsh amateur astronomer Isaac Roberts and was described by him as, "pretty bright, extremely large, irregularly round, very diffuse."

The name Seagull Nebula is sometimes applied by amateur astronomers to this emission region, although it more properly includes the neighboring regions of star clusters, dust clouds and reflection nebulae.
