Description

A little Test of what is possible with a mono Setup in just one night.
For this I chose an object that can be observed from my location almost the whole night. The choice fell on a wide field image with the combination of the Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) and the Monkey Head Nebula (NGC 2174). The Jellyfish Nebula is likely the remnant of a supernova, a stellar explosion at the end of a large star's life cycle.
The Monkeyhead Nebula is a large and bright gas cloud surrounding several young stars.
I find the combination of an object that is the remnant of a dead star and a nebula that is made to shine by young, newborn stars particularly interesting as a pair of opposites.

The whole story about this image is on my website.
