AW: [APML] Seagull Nebula (IC 2177)

[Andreas Rörig <apml@andreasroerig.de>]

Hi Axel,

this is a wonderful image. Processing seems to be excelent (as
expected).
I will go to Tenerife next Sunday for ten days of astrophotography and
this object is also on my list.

Best regards
Andreas

under much more favorable conditions. A total of 3 images on Kodak PJ400
were combined into a
stack/mosaic:

Removing vignetting was quite tough, since the nebulosity filled a large
part of the individual images, which made it very difficult to generate
a good 'sky flat' image. Any comments are of course welcome.

Clear skies,

Axel


P.S. [OT] Recently I started some mosaic work on the "dark side". For
those interested there is a link in the 'What's new' section on my
astrophotography homepage.

P.P.S No lunar eclipse photos; the fog rolled in just in time for the
umbral phase. I got a glimpse of totality through some thinner patches
of fog.
