Image taken 24 January 2009 from Clayton Bay, South Australia

Equipment - Takahashi TSA102S, flattener with Astro 40D camera by Central DS

Guiding - ED80 with Star Shoot auto guider on Takahashi EM400 mount.

5 x 20 minute subs

Flats, darks and bias's applied

Processed in Images Plus and Photoshop CS3

Notes - I am generally quite happy with this image, but feel as usual there needs to be many more subs and probably much longer. Guiding is quite good too.

Information note - The seagull nebula lies at a distance of around 3750 light years. It lies on the border of Canis Majoris and is a reflection nebula.
