Object: IC443	The Jellyfish Nebula	Const.: Gemini
Camera: STL-11000M	Scope: Tele Vue NP127is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B	Exposure: 16x8m:6x8m:6x8m:6x8m	blank
This image of IC443, The Jellyfish Nebula, was acquired using an STL11000 CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP127is 5" f/5.2 refractor. The luminance channel is a stack of 16 eight minute exposures taken through a Hydrogen-α filter, while the color channels are each stacks of 6 eight minute exposures taken through red, green and blue filters. The individual source images were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked, and the luminance channel was Gamma scaled, the resulting files were then color combined and auto-balanced all using AIP4WIN V2. This image is cropped from a much larger framing showing the entire region. Clicking on the image will display the entire 3°x2° field.

Object: IC443 - IC444	The Jellyfish Nebula Region	Const.: Gemini
Camera: STL-11000M	Scope: Tele Vue NP127is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B	Exposure: 16x8m:6x8m:6x8m:6x8m	blank
This image of IC443, The Jellyfish Nebula, and IC444 was acquired using an STL11000 CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP127is 5" f/5.2 refractor. It is the full frame from which the images above were cropped. The luminance channel is a stack of 16 eight minute exposures taken through a Hydrogen-α filter, while the color channels are each stacks of 6 eight minute exposures taken through red, green and blue filters. The individual source images were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked, and the luminance channel was Gamma scaled, the resulting files were then color combined and auto-balanced all using AIP4WIN V2.
