IC 2177 - Seagull Nebula

Alovera-1A
- Takahashi TOA 150B (1100mm f7.3)
- Moravian C3-61000
- Hα 5x300"
- OIII   5x300"
- SII    5x300"

Emission nebula whose shape barely resemblcance that of the sea bird with broad wings. Located in Canis Maior at 1,800 light years from earth, its emission is mainly due to ionized Hydrogen. So it is somehow useless at this point of our knowledge and capacities to go beyond this band. Short integration time, so result is poor. We'll comeback to this next year...
