Last night I promised that there would be Some Astronomy Happening.

Because we had SDA deployed on the front patio roof, we only had a couple of hours.

However...

I was able to get a far better shot of of #IC2177 ( the #SeagullNebula ) with the #Dwarf2 than I expected.

Sadly my attempt at #GUM6 aka #SH2_302 aka #RCW7 ( the #SnowmanNebula ) was a lot less successful.

Tonight, I am revisiting both. This time I'm shooting a full night for them. Let's see what we get!

Meantime, here are the shots from last night.
