*Seagull Nebula - IC 2177* (h-Alpha only) *Seagull's Head - NGC 2327* only visible in this pic due to FOV of the Telescope + Cam Combo. This is a region of nebulosity that lies along the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. It is a roughly circular H II region centered on the Be star HD 53367. This nebula was discovered by Welsh amateur astronomer Isaac Roberts and was described by him as "pretty bright, extremely large, irregularly round, very diffuse." The name Seagull Nebula is sometimes applied by amateur astronomers to this emission region, although it more properly includes the neighboring regions of star clusters, dust clouds and reflection nebulae. This latter region includes the open clusters NGC 2335 and NGC 2343. *Observation data:* Right ascension: 07h 04m 25s Declination: −10° 27.3′ Distance: 3650 ly (1,120 pc) Apparent magnitude (V): 15.23 Constellation: Monoceros Designations: GUM 1, IC 2177, Sh2-292 *Captured on*: __Jan. 18, 2021... *Equipment*: __ExploreScientific 127mm ED CF APO Triplet Refractor __iOptron CEM70G Mount __ZWO ASI1600MM PRO Cooled Camera __ZWO EFT 2" 5 filters slot __ZWO H-Alpha 2" Narroband Filter *Processing Details*: __H-Alpha: 10 x 180 sec.

*Seagull Nebula - IC 2177* *Seagull's Head - NGC 2327* Also visible in this pic due to good FOV at this lens of 180mm. This is a region of nebulosity that lies along the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. It is a roughly circular H II region centered on the Be star HD 53367. This nebula was discovered by Welsh amateur astronomer Isaac Roberts and was described by him as "pretty bright, extremely large, irregularly round, very diffuse." The name Seagull Nebula is sometimes applied by amateur astronomers to this emission region, although it more properly includes the neighboring regions of star clusters, dust clouds and reflection nebulae. This latter region includes the open clusters NGC 2335 and NGC 2343. NGC 2327 is located in IC 2177. It is also known as the Seagull's Head, due to its larger presence in the Seagull nebula. *Observation data:* Right ascension: 07h 04m 25s Declination: −10° 27.3′ Distance: 3650 ly (1,120 pc) Apparent magnitude (V): 15.23 Constellation: Monoceros Designations: GUM 1, IC 2177, Sh2-292 *Captured on*: __Feb. 14, 2021... *Exif Details*: __29 x 60 sec. subs __10 Dark __No Flats __No Bias __f/2.8 __180mm __ISO-1600 *Processing Details*: __Stacked in DSS __Processed in PixInsight __Enhanced in LightRoom & Snapseed *Equipments:* __Canon 450D Astro-Modified DSLR __NIKKOR Ai-s 180mm F/2.8 ED Lens __iOptron SkyGuider Pro __iOptron Ball Head __INNOREL RT90C Carbon Fibers Tripod *Location:* __Chiguru Farm, Bilikal Forest, Karnataka *Sky Conditions* __Bortle Scale 3.8 __Clear Sky __Few surrounding villages lights interference #SeagullNebula #nightsky #astronomy #astrophysics #softwarebisque #astrophotography #starrynight #cosmos #AstroPhotographyIndia #Travel #karnataka #india © Vijay Kapoor Follow My Instagram for More pics: http://Instagram.com/lunar_mountains_climber https://www.instagram.com/p/CL36iCwpFTl/?igshid=ldtm8sn7qfar

Picture of the Week - LX850 Style!  Here is a region of nebulosity lying on the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major referred to as IC 2177, or the "Sea Gull Nebula".  Even though the conditions were so-so, I thought I would test out the Lumicon Deep Sky Filter, which does a pretty good job removing the effects of the lights near my urban setting.
