IC443 - Jellyfish Supernova Remnant

IC443 is a spectacular cosmic example of a star exploding and leaving behind a rapidly spinning neutron star. The jets from the pulsar's poles are likely spreading the material in fascinating patterns and triggering additional star birth. I have captured this target in a prior year in pure RGB and it pales in comparison to what can be revealed through narrowband filters in my opinion. 3nm filters in the SHO palette was able to capture a lot of details and the whole night sky around the target is full of interesting spectral emissions.

Alas, my wife would not approve the budget for an X-ray spectrum telescope and I guess we all have to draw the line somewhere after jumping off the deep end in mono gear purchases

. Feel free to read this interesting article and snapshot from the Xray bandpass showing the poles from NASA's Chandra observatory.

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.
