  1. Finally have the Seestar running again after a nearly 2 month break due to cold and snow. The Seagull Nebula: emissions nebula IC 2177 #astrophotography #seestar #ic2177

  2. Last night I promised that there would be Some Astronomy Happening.

    Because we had SDA deployed on the front patio roof, we only had a couple of hours.

    However...

    I was able to get a far better shot of of #IC2177 ( the #SeagullNebula ) with the #Dwarf2 than I expected.

    Sadly my attempt at #GUM6 aka #SH2_302 aka #RCW7 ( the #SnowmanNebula ) was a lot less successful.

    Tonight, I am revisiting both. This time I'm shooting a full night for them. Let's see what we get!

    Meantime, here are the shots from last night.

  7. 📸 The Seagull Nebula
    Shaped like a bird in flight, the Seagull Nebula spans over 200 light-years near Sirius in Canis Major. IC 2177 forms the head, while surrounding clouds glow with hydrogen gas. A bluish arc is a bow shock from the runaway star FN Canis Majoris.
