IC443 The Jellyfish + widefield

[PeterCPC]

Clear last night so had a go at the Jellyfish. Found this one quite tricky due to faintness and light pollution here. Taken with my ED80 and Canon 1200d. Then I did a widefield shot of the same area using my Canon 550d and Samyang 14mm. Some detail lost in saving as JPGs.

Any comments as usual.

Nice one Peter... you are right, it is faint and difficult to image. I also found it a bit of a struggle to process, especially keeping the stars quiet! Tim.

I like your jellyfish!

Can you tell us a bit about exposures and ISO. I may have a go at it next time the sky clears.

Thanks Tim and Goran. It was 14 lights of 400 secs exposure at ISO 1600 plus the usual darks and bias. I did not add flats this time. Did a DBE in Pigs In Space Pixinsight then a small amount of processing in Paintshop Pro to try to stretch it a bit. I think that a few more exposures (maybe double) would have been better. ED80 with reducer and Canon 1200d with UHC-E filter. Used BYE for capture.
