IC443 under an almost full moon...

[fwm891]

When the moon's that near full and that close to my object I normally just go back indoors for more coffee. But lately I've had so little time under the sky I just went for it. So here's my effort from last night (22-02-2024) I wanted 20 x 240s subs that was my aim but had to settle for 9 due to clouds.

Askar 120 APO with 0.8x reducer. Asi2600MC Duo, (gain 101 / Offset 25), Askar (D!?) HaOIII 6nm NB filter, mount iOptron CEM60, Capture S/Ware NINA, Images processed with PI.

Hope you like.

Very nice. Any filters involved in that capture?  Picked up an Askar 120 myself a few weeks ago but it has yet to get first light 🙄

Thanks. Yes an Askar (D1?) HaOIII 6nm NB filter. Just added to the list - thanks.

Great result, in the UK waiting for the perfect night to image can be a very long time coming.
