The Seagull Nebula one of the interesting nebulas that I photographed the shape and detailes in this nebual is amazing for any astrophographer, IC 2177 is a region of nebulosity that lies along the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. It is a roughly circular H II region centered on the Be star HD 53367. This nebula was discovered by Welsh amateur astronomer Isaac Roberts and was described by him as "pretty bright, extremely large, irregularly round, very diffuse."

The name Seagull Nebula is sometimes applied by amateur astronomers to this emission region, although it more properly includes the neighboring regions of star clusters, dust clouds and reflection nebulae.

Shot over the 2 nights from 09/02/2024, 10/02/2024, total of 320 images (10 Hours 40 minutes), from the mountains of RAS Al Khaimah in UAE.
