The Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Gemini.

This fairly bright nebula is approximately 5000 light-years from Earth and is estimated to be roughly 70 light-years in size.

This image consists of 21 hours of exposure - 239 subs (172 x 300s & 67 x 360s) taken with an ASI071MC Pro camera cooled to 20f. The telescope is the Skywatcher Esprit 120ED triplet refractor and the mount is a Skywatcher EQ6r Pro.

Image acquisition software includes APT, PHD2, EQMOD, and ASCOM. Processed in Pixinsight.

At mid-northern latitudes, the best time to see and photograph the Jellyfish Nebula is from November to March. From my latitude (35 degrees north), this nebula rises high into the sky above Orion.

At the bottom of the image is the very bright star, Propus. Line up Alnitak with Beetleguese and look for Propus and Tejat. The Jellyfish lies between.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
