The Monkey and the Jellyfish

Hello,

Here is one of my latest-processed images, which was actually shot late in 2013. This is IC443 (the Jellyfish nebula), which some of you may recognize as a target I shot and shared recently, but this time with the image composed with another nebula in the image, NGC 2174, or the Monkey Head Nebula. There’s a bonus third nebula in the field of view, Sharpless 274, which itself looks like a little comb jellyfish on its own.

These targets were shot and processed using the standard H-alpha/RGB method for emission nebulae. In addition, I also shot them with additional narrowband wavelengths of SII and OIII, and processed them in the famous Hubble Palette.
