B&W Seagull Nebula
Mar 20, 2024 15:34:17 #
So I've grown to like my B&W images.
I still use multiple filters. But not here, just HA7nm, OIII, SII, Darks and Bias.
When I look into this image, I can see what appears to be a bird flying out of it, with what looks like a string of poo trailing behind.
I imagine that was why it was named the Seagull Nebula.

Not sure I can do this right. But I'm trying. 
I downloaded it, then did a markup on it.
Looks kind of like a birds head.
Anyway, I didn't name it, I just reached out and grabbed the picture.
If you download it it might be easier to see.
Yes. Download, then click in the circle with your curser. Should zoom in on the image.

Pretty decent nebulosity but I'm a bit unsure about the bird part...

I donno.Some of this stuff just eludes me.
Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula? I mean, come on!
Anyway, to make up for aperture, I download it, then zoomed in, and there is a resemblance to a birds head that to me looks more like an eagle's beak.
Like I said, I don't name them, I just take picturds of them.
Most of these lately are really stretching the reach of my current telescope.

Here's an AI generated image of your 'seagull' nebula...

Uh, yeah.
No.
That is bullshit.
You do know that AI stands for Artificial Idiocy, don't you?
We used to use crayons when I was in school.
Another Internet rendition.
Ahh yes, the Internet - Alice's Restaurant.

Heck no, I've got enough troubles with my inside out and upside down refractor.

Hey Sonny,
You just got mostly the head and didn't get much of the rest of it. This is an LRGB image of the Seagull Nebula I just finished. Having more of the nebula visible provides a a more seagullish look than yours simply because you imaged mostly its head and if I cross my eyes and dot my tees, there is a strong resemblance to the bird in bwa's AI Masterpiece! You obviously have a lot more scope than I do. <seethingly jealous>
The one thing I like about this image is the bow shock to the right of center.
