Hi Gang, here is the nebula called Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443). I shot this on December 7, 2023 and it was a nice night. We have had the best imaging weather of the year in the month of December. This Nebula is pretty faint to pull out of the stars but is very colorful. This was the result of about 15 5 minute subs on the QHY168C on my Astro Tech 102 ED refractor.
It is a supernova remnant in the constellation Gemini. It is located near the star Eta Geminorum, a triple star system, that you see at the bottom of the image.
Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth.
