Description

I took a shot of IC443 recently and decided to extend it into a 6-frame mosaic that also fit NGC2174.  The Baader high-speed H-alpha filter gives such great results, there is so little processing to do to the images afterwards.  And making mosaics in Microsoft ICE is always amazing, literally 16 seconds with zero user input.

Taken over 6 nights in Feb, 2022.  60 x 180s (3hrs) per frame at f/2.2.
