IC 2177 Complex known as the Seagull Nebula, that includes NGC 2337, and Gum 1 (patch of nebulosity at right) and NGC 2343 cluster at left and NGC 2335 cluster at top. It is on the Monoceros-Canis Major border. This is a stack of 4 x 12 minute exposures at ISO 800 with the filter-modified Caon 5D MkII and thru the Astro-Physics 105mm Traveler apo refractor at f/5.8 with the 6x7 field flattener. Taken from Timor Cottage, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, December 12/13, 2012. Shot without a dark frame subtraction by mistake.
IC 2391 Cluster in Vela. NGC 2669 to the left. Taken with 4-inch AP Traveler apo refractor at f/4.5 with Canon 20Da camera at ISO 800 for stack of 4 x 2 minute exposures. Taken from Coonabarabran
The loose open star cluster IC 2391, aka the Omicron Velorum Cluster in Vela. The orientation is along the Milky Way here, so north is at right, not at top. This is a stack of five 2-minute exposures with the Canon L-series 135mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 7D at ISO 1250. The field simulates a binocular field of roughly 7°.
