Description

Clusters and nebulosity  in Gemini, with Messier 35 the main open star cluster at top right. Below M35 is the tiny star cluster NGC 2158. The central  nebulosity is IC 443,  the Jellyfish Nebula a remnant of a supernova explosion.  Bottom Right is IC 2174, the Monkeyhead Nebula.
Due to some equipment issues I was only able to capture around an hour of subs, but with an F2 lens stopped down to f2.8 that was just about enough.

Title: Enhanced with added RASA8

Description: Original image taken with Samyang 135mm (focal Length) has been enhanced by adding in two separate images of the Jellyfish Nebula and the Monkey head Nebula taken with my RASA8 focal length 400m. Its a sort of Intra mural. I used Pixinsight Star alignment on the two images and combined using a Game Mask & Pixinsight as described in this video : https://youtu.be/26THrl8QmS8. A much better detailed result.
