IC2177 The Seagull Nebula. 3600 LY in the constellation Canis Major. It may be named Seagull, but those in the know call it RODAN.

Beautiful!
I haven't been dabbling in Astrophotography forever, just 10 years or so.
But I use Stellarium, and in the course of my dabbling, I've noticed several things being renamed.
Rather disheartening.
Nothing changed really (except Betelgeuse blew up, supposedly), so why the renaming?
Just shows how small the human race is. More like a tricycle race.
Keep shootin! (When you can find a clear night...)
