Gum 1 and the head of the Seagull Nebula
This would be the head and shoulders area of the larger Seagull Nebula, IC 2177. NGC 2327 would be the bright, head area. Click on the image above for a larger picture.
This is a mosaic of 12 x 4 minute = 48 minutes total exposure. 1/31/06 about 2:30 am from the HAS site. As with everything else, it really could stand more exposure!
Takahashi TOA 130 (a 5" APO refractor) and Canon EOS D20a. My current image processing workflow is here.
