Description

Here's a shot of IC443, the Jellyfish Nebula, in Hubble Palette under a full moon.

There was 1 hour of exposure per colour channel.

The arcs in the middle of the right side of the image are unfortunate reflections from the bright star Propus.

There is a surprising amount of S-II light from this object and surprisingly very little O-III.

There is some star elongation in the upper left, which I believe is due to the imaging train not sitting 100% flat in combination with the 0.7x reducer.
