IC 443, the Jellyfish nebula in Gemini

The Jellyfish nebula is a supernova remnant about 5000 light years distant and about 70 light years across.

This is an RGB image captured on a QHY163M mono camera with Optolong RGB filters. The scope used was a WO FLT110 with a Flat4 and the mount was a Skywatcher AZ EQ6-GT. Image sequencing was controlled by Sequence Generator Pro with PHD2 and a LakesideAstro focus motor enabled autofocus. Just over 4 hours of data in each channel in 2 minute frames with gain set to 70. All post-processing was done in PixInsight.

Captured from Prachinburi, Thailand
