Seagull Neb­ula (IC 2177) in Monoceros

The name Seagull Neb­ula is some­times applied by ama­teur astro­nomers to this emis­sion region, although it more prop­erly includes the neigh­bor­ing regions of star clusters, dust clouds and reflec­tion neb­u­lae. This lat­ter region includes the open clusters NGC 2335 and NGC 2343.
