IC 2177

The final image with teh FSQ of the season.  The weather has been brutally cold lately, making the prospect of changing scopes a daunting task since there is an OAG in the mix.  I wont be able to shoot OIII and SII for a couple of weeks, and if the weatherb does not cooperate, this image may well not be completed.  The target never rises above 38 degrees-so its quite low in part of my sky prone to LP and clouds.  Fingers crossed.

FSQ 106 with .6x reducer and ASI 1600.  69 300 sec Ha subs

I love it. It looks like a flying bird.

Thanks kirkster. Thanks for looking. I am looking forward to adding SII and OIII.

Great image. I get a similar problem in that my skies are never clear enough for long enough to gather all the data I need. Fortunately for you, images in Ha only still look good.

Thanks Roy. Doesn’t it stink?  Going 3 weeks without imaging is no fun. And having to choose between posting an inferior image or waiting 2 months to post a decent one is no choice at all

I think it is commonly called the Seagull Nebula.  (^8

I love B&W Ha images.....they stand well by themselves.
