IC 443 The Jellyfish Nebula - first steps - Ha - WIP

[TakMan]

Yet another target started as the others roll past the meridian and into the trees...

This was just to check the framing, very early days in terms of data captured, but think it's stood up quite well...

Just 1 hrs worth - 3x 1200 sec (dithered between each exposure), so hardly enough for sigma stacking algorithms to remove the odd hot/cold pixels and columns.

Chroma 3nm Ha, Dark and flat frame calibrated (and aligned/stacked in APP). Processed in Photoshop with Starnet++.

FSQ106ED @ f/5 - Atik 16200M (running at -20ºC) Atik OAG/SBIG ST-i 

Very pleased with the halo control, unfortunately it's true... you do get what you pay for.....

Just trying to decide if it's worth putting the gear out for a possible hour or so....
