IC443 - The Jellyfish Nebula

[mightymonoped]

Managed to grab a meagre couple of hours over two panes last night. Combined these two frames with a previous test capture of about 30 mins.

Processed each pane as Ha and Oiii and then combined each as a separate HOO before combining as a mosaic in Astro Pixel Processor.

Then cleanup up and processed Star Layer and Nebula Layer before merging back using Photoshop CC.

Quite pleased with this given the short integration (and complete lack of clear nights lately).

Hopefully will add to this if we get a few more clear nights, while it's still accessible to me from the balcony.

Nice framing--not used to seeing the two bright stars at an angle--I think it looks great.  Palette is pleasing as well--I love natural palettes
