Deep Sky Imaging Session - February 28, 2023

The sky this evening is clear so I attempted to image IC2177 Seagull Nebula in the constellation of Canis Major. I had a hard time imaging this nebula in light polluted Manila sky even with my Svbony SV220 7nm Duo Filter. Its dimmer a bit than Monket Nebula NGC2174. My orientation for this nebula is slightly off and lack more exposure so I plan to reimage it again. I use a ZWO ASI294MC PRO camera on Borg 76ED Refractor with 0.8x Reducer / Flattener and Svbony SV220 Duo Filter with ASIAIR on Vixen Starbook-S controller with Vixen GPDX mount. Total exposure of 30 minutes was taken on Unity Gain at -5 deg C .
