Diving about as far south into the winter Milky Way as I can manage with this shot of the Seagull Nebula. Call it what you like, IC 2177, SH-296 - this region is bursting with catalogue references. A slightly wider angle would have been better, but still a nice result from the 2 hours of data I can capture as this seagull flies through the gap in the trees.
Captured in ArtemisCapture, calibrated in ImagetoolsCa, DDP and deconvolution in maxim, thuggery in photoshop.
This image was autoguided using my 400mm focal length refractor and my black and white SC1 webcam.
