Description

After two months of clouds and rain I finally had a couple of nights clear skies. Had problems with my guiding again, so I had to image without. Tried for IC443 using my Edge 8 with Hyperstar and ZWO ASI1600 which give me f1.9. Set up with gain 75 and 180 seconds exposures, got 30 on each filter. My Ha and Oiii are highspeed filters while my Sii is an 8nm filter. I thought everything was going great but when stacking my subs I noticed that the two bright stars Propus and ¨Gem are really bloated. I had a lot of problems processing this image and I am not satisfied with the result but I’ll put the subs aside and get back to them later.
