Jelly Fish Nebula IC443

Jelly Fish Nebula IC443
I have to say I have been beaten by nature so this is what I have... We have clouds next few night. This is on the Northern Track of the Milky way Does not get very high so very prone to City lights.two night put it far too low to try for more shots.

I think I have left this on way too late( waiting for the moon to die down) as in did not get much above the trees and power lines. There is a whole lot more below and right that this two shot panorama did not capture. This was set up with camera rotation on the field of view in Nina and I have to say this two shot panorama is 100% perfect in the way it was pictured and how it came out.

This was to be a 6 night group of shots but clouds have killed it as it is really now far too low to try for more shots after the clouds pass,this is three night 25 shots panel one bottom of image but the main the top panel is only 2 night at 25 shots per night. To say I am a little surprised that it has come out fairly well for the number of shots and the clarity of shots above the city lights.

I hope to come back to this next year to get the whole area with the Nikon 300mm lens. enjoy a few of the odd balls of space.

Its certainly out there just a shame I have been closed out of the Nebula by clouds next year I will look further into this as there is so much more to this than just what you see here. It almost looks to me of a dinosaur , But thats me.

To say that this one is not as you would have hoped leaves me open mouthed! Looks pretty perfect to me - of course. Another serious piece of work very well done in my humble opinion.

Best Wishes and keep cool. Herb

You have to wait to see why later when I get back to this, plus there is a huge wide field shot with the 300mm lens to get all this in. Glad you think so I have to see my shots from other people's view not so my own... Thank you for the comment its great that while I do this for myself its great to see other enjoy the shots as well. There is no keep cool....
