This shot shows the region at the borders of the constellations
Monoceros, Canis Major, and Puppis which includes the Seagull Nebula
and the open clusters M46 and M47
(lower left). The context of this frame can be seen in the
ultra-wide mosaic
of this part of the sky. See also a close-up view of the Seagull,
taken in a revisit in 2011.
