The Seagull Nebula (IC 2177)

he Seagull Nebula is made up of NGC 2327 (the head) and IC 2177 (the wings), which are located 3.650 light-years apart in the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. The emission nebula NGC 2359, sometimes referred to as Thor's Helmet, is located in the constellation Canis Major. One of my favorite edits to date, wanted to emphasize H II regions.
