Description

IC 443, the Jellyfish Nebula, is a supernova remnant, in the constellation Gemini, that occurred about 7500 years ago. It is one of the best studied cases of supernova remnants, interacting with surrounding molecular clouds. IC 443 is at an estimated distance of 5,000 light-years. The large nebula, to the left and to the top of the image, is the emission nebula Sh2-249... at a distance of approximately 5200 light years.

The halos around the stars posed a bit of challenge processing this but a lovely area to work on! comments & feedback welcome!
