6 Seagull Nebula(IC 2177)
Just to the east of the constellation of Orion (the Hunter) is a dimmer constellation called Monoceros (the Unicorn). Although none of the stars that make up the group are particularly bright, this constellation sits in the band of the Milky
Way, and is therefore rich in nebulae and star clusters. It contains some fairly wellknown objects, such as the Cone Nebula, the more famous Rosette Nebula and Hubble’s Variable Nebula. This is a rich region of the sky to go exploring with a telescope of almost any size.
