Description

This is IC 2177, the Seagull Nebula, which is located along the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. The contrast between colors in this object is quite amazing. One side is fully oxygen and the other is mostly sulphur and hydrogen. For only 4.5 hours of integration, its quite amazing how much detail I was able to pick up! Enjoy!
