Description

Before starting galaxy season, I wanted to image another nebula in narrow band. I had good weather and decided on the Jellyfish.  All went well until the moon decided to visit, so I switched to the Seagull (previous image posted) for a few days until the moon passed then resumed work on the Jellyfish. I was fortunate to have enough clear skies to image both these maritime targets.  Processing the Jellyfish was made challenging by the two bright stars, Mu Gem. and Eta Gem.  SHO, added RGB to the stars this time.
