IC445 - The Jellyfish Nebula

[Phillyo]

Captured under a full moon on Guy Fawkes night, IC443 the Jellyfish Nebula. Definitely want to revisit this target when it's a moonless night to see how much more detail I can capture.

Only 9 x 1800s total 4.5hours exposure
EQ6 with EQmod
QSI583wsg
Lodestar x2
Megrez 72 APO

Astrodon 3nm Ha filter
Sequence Generator Pro
PHD2
Processing in PI

As always, comments/criticism is welcome.

This isn't quite up to Sara's incredible standard (yet) but we'll get there one day

Very nice indeed, A fair amount of detail is coming through,

are you going to add colour or keep as is, I like it as is,

well done

Won't be adding colour. I'm a mono man

Thanks,

Phil.

Now that Phil is really rather good as it is in mono.

I need to grab this as well, i can just squeeze it onto my chip though.

Very nice indeed and a target that works very well in the much underrated mono. Did you use a focal reducer/flattener with the Megrez and is so, which one?

Thanks all.

Steppenwolf I used the William optics ff/fr 6 to give 346mm fl at f4.8 I think.

Thanks, Phil, the star shaped appear very good although I am only using an iPhone at present to view. I like my Megrez 72 but haven't used it in earnest for imaging as I suspect that my WO FR III won't do as good a job as your VI.
