IC 2177 - Seagull Nebula - now with Ha and OIII

[MrsGnomus]

I have posted my LRGB version of this here: https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/288405-ic-2177-seagull-nebula-from-deep-sky-west/#comment-3161702

I have now had a chance to add Ha and OIII data.

So this now consists of:

• Lum: 17x900s
• Red: 16x900s
• Green: 16x900s
• Blue: 16x900s
• Ha: 23x1800s
• OIII: 7x1800

For a total of 31 hours and 15 minutes. 

Scope: Tak 106; Mount: Paramaount MyT; Camera: QSI 683; Filters: Astrodon

Processing in PixInsight and Photoshop.  All C&C welcome.

V nice.

Lovely. Nicely restrained processing, good stars, clean fainter parts. 'Invisible processing' at its best.

That is a stunning and very natural looking image- the kind I aspire to.

Very envious.??

Thanks for the comments - much appreciated. I'm still driving @gnomusnuts with my rather timid approach to processing - he needs a medal for patience when I have control of the mouse and keyboard.

I'm going to buck the trend here - I think that the original version is bang on the money... fine processing and super natural colours.... I don't think that this version has surpassed the original if I'm honest .... sorry  But I do love that original

I was really happy with the original too but missed the olive tones from the OIII that we got when we did our first Seagull when staying with @ollypenricelast spring so I was keen to try and emulate that wiith this effort.
