Thors Helmet NGC2359

Thors Helmet NGC2359
This was my next target but the forecast was clouds for the next few days after I finished the wide field. The good news is have not seen any clouds that worried the mount . The tree next to the mount gets in the way of photos at 3am so getting less and less each day as the star seem to move across the sky( its us moving.)

I wanted to do this target as it is a very interesting shape and it is no a big one as you can see by the wide field photo of the Seagull the small white dot middle of frame. I had to rotate to get this orientation or it would have been along the length of the shot.

Wide field view of the Seagull Nebula IC2177 area.
