Description

Supernova remnant IC443 is a bit over a degree across, but I only have a 15 arc minute wide field of view, even with a focal reducer. So here is the northern edge of the nebula. Quite lovely, delicate and colorful. Unfortunately, the seeing was pretty poor at during the part of the night I observed this one. Its only 125 frames of 2.5 seconds each stacked live in SharpCap. I did some contrast adjustment in the saved FITS file and post it here because I forgot to save the live adjusted image in SharpCap, but rather saved only the unadjusted image.

I learned from this outing and the next a couple weeks later that I really need to do stack about 200 images if I really want to pull a tough target out. It could have helped with this one as well.
