IC443 Jellyfish Nebula - a brain lost in space

Revision title: Foraxx

Acquisition type: Electronically-Assisted Astronomy (EAA, e.g. based on a live video feed)

This is my first attempt at the Jellyfish nebula, which indeed looks like a brain to me. This is a HOO composition made with a OSC cooled camera and a l-ultimate filter. Even with this great filter, I had to severly correct the halo generated by the bright star. I hope that you enjoy it. The flats done for this capture area done with the wrong gain. This is a mistake I did in APT after increasing the master gain to 450 for framing purpose. The outcome was not that dramatic such that I decided to use the data anyway.
All comments comments and criticisms aiming at improvement are welcome.

125x300s of lights with the usual callibration files.
usual darks, flats and darksflat for that camera.
TS-200/800 UNC Quartz
ASI294mc Pro -10°C gain 121
svbony 106 for guiding
ASI120MM for guiding
EQ6-R pro
SIRIL, Gimp, Starnet++, astrosurface for processing and post-processing

EDIT : version E was processed using Pixinsight and GIMP to handle the star halo on the starless foraxx.

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.
