The Seagull Nebula


The Seagull Nebula in Monoceros is very poorly situated for imaging here at CSO. As I cannot uproot a forest, or demolish my neighbor's home, I have to grab images as I can. I managed to capture enough data on 3/25 to get a reasonable image of the Seagull--my first image of this object. BTW--I think it looks more like a parrot than a seagull!
