I've wanted to do a wide shot of the Jellyfish for some time. I knew the nebula above it was pretty extensive and looked kind of like a whale spouting, but I didn't realize it had such prominent dark lanes.

Dean,
Very nice image!

I have always wondered about the area above Mu-Gem and left of IC443 in your image. It seems notable enough. Sharpless 249? a.k.a. LBN841/845?

In any event, its nice to see these in the same field as IC443.

Sweet image Dean!
It's deep and has great detail.
I love your processing on the dark areas.
