Description

"IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 (Sh2-248)) is a galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. On the plane of the sky, it is located near the star Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth."

Even though I photographed this nebula under new moon, 21 hours of exposure time still does not give me a smooth background. May be that's because of light pollution.
