Wide field view of the Seagull Nebula IC2177 area.
knew that the was a lot of red wisps around the Seagull nebula. this is my 105mm Nikon prime lens first try at Astro photography with the very same camera as the shot next to this, there is just so many stars out there you almost loose the faint red wisps. This was not auto focus but Bahtinov mask.
I had to call it quits as I am now clouded in but the idea of the wisps show very well. the very small white nebula that is in view just below the seagull is Thors Helmet the target that I wanted to do next but as its only 30 shots a night till the tree gets in the way I will leave for next year. the next week or so is clouded in so no point even starting to get more.
ZWOASI071MC -7c 39 shots 600 secs, over 2 night camera rotated 104 degrees.
