Jellyfish Nebula – IC 444
Jellyfish Nebula
This little goofy nebula is hard to capture, and with poor skies and limited evening time, I grabbed a few Ha, Sii, Oiii frames but it obviously needs more time. This is likely from a supernova that blew apart causing this brain or jelly looking nebula, even harder to grab is the background nebula.
