A Jellyfish!! (or as I like to call it .... IC443)

With a lovely early spring evening upon us on the 3rd April I was setup and ready for the off.
I decided on a fairly easy target but one that I have never attempted - IC443, the Jellyfish Nebula.

IC443 is a supernova remnant that lies in the constellation of Gemini some 5000 light years from Earth in the same plane as the star Eta Geminorum.
