IC443 - The Jellyfish

[martin_h]

Had a good long clear spell last night so had a bash at this one.

21 x 20mins in Ha = 7hrs!

ED80+QHY9m

[swag72]

That is a cracking shot. Great detail - Looks the business.

Terriffic. Bang on the money all the way. Those darned stars are the only ones ever to defeat my Baader 7Nm filter. You've done well there too.

I probably spent more time looking after that star than processing the rest of the image!

Lovely image - worth the effort:icon_salut:. Are you adding colour channels?

Err well....... I took 5 hours worth last night, BUT, I had a problem with the shutter on the mono cam earlier in the evening which I managed to sort out but I forgot to check the rotation when I remounted the CCD, so with the huge crop needed after registration its not realy worth it......ho hum

Lovely image of one of my favourite Ha nebulae

[Deneb]

Another fabulous contribution from you Martin.

[martin_h]

ok here it is with the RGB added such as it is...

[Quatermass]

Wonderful image I must get myself an ED80 and a ccd camera when I am rich yeah right...

[R Fisher]

Super Image very fine detail.

[Aris Panagiotopoulos]

Great Ha Image...just great!

Ahhhh....the field rotation between filter changes....Agrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Darth Takahashi]

Very nice...I'm glad someone is getting some clear spells!!! :-(

[Coco]

Thats a beaut!

Fabulous image, you must be very happy with that one

[Tom OD]

Oh yeah super stuff on that Ha pic. Smooth sharp and lots of detail. I prefer the Ha version though. Doesn't look like you cropped off too much with that camera rotated.

Tom.

[steppenwolf]

Wonderful Ha image with some really excellent detail.

[Catanonia]

Fantastic work mate, well controlled in the stars and great natual colour.

Nice to see someone else kicking the QHY9 to its limits.

[davew]

That's very nice. One of cleanest and sharpest I've seen.

Here's a suggestion..... Try a good few S11 subs. Then map Ha to red and S11 to green and blue !! There are a few really well defined S11 regions in there that look beautiful.

Odd ball I know but try it and see. Watch that damn star though. It will want to glow blue.

That is superb especially the Ha, shape and structure top marks with this object.

As it happens I have the NB filters in at the moment, might give that a go if I get a couple of clear hours.

Exceptional Jellyfish capture, Martin, love it!

Hi Martin,

Glad you fancy a go at it. I hope you'll like it. Even if you don't then you'll be 2/3 the way to a full narrowband image. Although some say there is enough O111 around, I've been disappointed with the quantity so far. Some will show up bottom left on your image as nice wispy bits.

Good luck.

Dave.

[prokyon]

The Ha is a real stunner! So many details.
