Info Post











Last night was clear for a long time, I used it to shot






IC443 Supernove remnant. This was a first light for my new Observatory,






POD (Personal observatory Dome).

The O-III signal is weak. After some extreme stretching of the data






there was plenty of it after all. I have not noticed before how far it continues






outside of the Hydrogen alpha area. O-III can be now seen at seven a






clock from the main formation and some faint areas in upper left corner with H-alpha.

Exposures:
-H-alpha 8x1200s binned 1x1






-S-II 4x600s binned 2x2
-O-III 5x600s binned 2x2
Optics:
Tokina 300mm TX f2.8 @ f2.8
Camera:
QHY9 @ -50 C
Guiding:
Lx200 GPS 12" + LQHY5 and PHD-Guiding












Grop from the center, not bad details for a 300mm camera lens.

IC443 as a natural color version, mixed from narrowband channels.
H-alpha 100% + 35%S-II = RED, O-III = GREEN and O-III 100% + 30%H-alpha = BLUE.



A Starless version to show the nebulosity better.

Note an extended Triple Ionized Oxygen outburst in lover left from main feature in middle.
