Jellyfish nebula IC443

Not one of my best images, as it was low in the sky and creeping into the London LP, will be so glad to get back to my Astro Camp for some darker skies. 

Tried taking Oiii and Sii, and there was virtually no Oiii (I guess there might be with better skies), so I added the Sii to the blue channel.  So this is HaRGSiiB, so although I took at least another hour of this the presented results are just over 4 hours.

Not much in the green channel though as that one kept catching the clouds.

3 hours Ha (Baader 3.5nm)
30mins Sii (binned 8nm)
35m RGB binned totalling, just over 4 hours.

Looks really good Carole. Has a nice 3D feel about it.

I really like images where the background isn't too black clipped hence I'm really liking the velvety grey/brown rich background with this one. The various shades of pink to red give the image lots of depth too! Sometimes we're our own worst critic Carole, I think it's great!

I like the tight crop - gives it a kind of 'personality'.
