Description

IC 2177, also known as the Seagull Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Monoceros. It is situated about 3,800 light-years away from Earth. The nebula gets its name from the bird-like shape that appears in the center of the formation, resembling a seagull in flight.

This was shot with my asi2600mc pro and IDAS NBZ filter. During image processing, I split the Ha and OIII channels and combined them using an HOO palette in pixinsight.
