IC443 is a supernova remnant in Gemini.
Last night I installed a Tokina 300mm AT f2.8 lens front of the QHY9 astro camera.
This combination gives me resolution of 3,5 "/pixel, witch mean practically seeing limited
details. The fiels of view is about 207' x 157'.
-
At the time I was able to shot this target it was low in the sky, about
30 degrees, that and very bad transparency and seeing cut down the sharpness a lot.
-
I will shot more Ha-light when weather allows and I'm going to
add O-III and S-II data as well to create a narrowband composition.
