Hi all,

This is just a Ha image of Gum-1,the head of the seagull nebula in Monoceros.
To the West of Gum-1(the bottom in this image)is PK223-2.1

Probably won't shoot RGB for this but may go for OIII when the clouds go away.

28x600s through an Astrodon 6Nm Ha filter with my TMB115 @F7 and ST10xme. 1200gto guided with a remote guide head and e-finder.

Your comments always welcome,
Jason

Excellent framing and composition, Jason.
I searched a bit for some narrowband images of this one, but couldn't find a decent one. It would be interesting to do the SII and OIII as Eric suggested to see what's there.

Very nicely done Jason.

It is interesting toi see this composition and PK233-2.1. I have a similar composition of this area and I never noticed the planetary. I looked and sure enough it is there - not as prominent as yours though.
