IC443 - Jellyfish Nebula (fullmoon)

[AbsolutelyN]

Taken last night under full moon. Trying to get a bit more data tonight, has turned out better than I hoped for give conditions. About 5 hours with RASA8/1600MM in HA and 5 hours Esprit 80/2600MC.

Beautiful! Really nice and natural looking. Out of interest what processing packages fo you use? 

[AbsolutelyN]

Thanks Craig, tough one to process this - so washed out with moon so prominent. Adding more data. 

I'm stacking in PixInsight and then processing is back and forth between Photoshop and PixInsight.

Ah thanks, I have downloaded a trial version of PI, will see how I get on with it.

It's brilliant, feels a bit expensive but well worth it for dynamic background extraction alone. Have a look at VisibleDark's youtube videos for some really good tutorials on it.

Excellent Tristan, both the original and newer one with added Ha look great.
