IC 443 – Jellyfish Nebula

[Back to Gallery]


I shot the Jellyfish in January, 2011, capturing just two 40-minute images each of SII, Ha and OIII @ 1X1.  I recently together the data and created a mosaic showing a cool “chimney” projecting out of the top. The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) has the same thing in their APOD (link below).
