IC 2177 - Seagull Nebula

[Hughsie]

I originally captured the data from this image in Sii, Ha and Oiii across three nights in 2021 using scope T14 at iTelescope.

The data was automatically calibrated and downloaded from iTelescope but other than initial stacking I never posted the image as the camera had line defects. Whilst PixInsight did its best to remove most of the lines there were some persistent offenders and so I binned the project.

Today, with a bit more time on my hands I decided to have another go and feel I have something presentable to share this time around. There remain some red and green blotches from the camera which you can see zoomed up close but as Mother used to say, "A blind man would be pleased to see them".

Here is the Seagull.
