O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
(Lyrics to O Little Town of Bethlehem by Phillips Brooks.)
Another Christmas has come and now gone. But the Savior, the everlasting light, is still with us. Even the stars will someday die, but He will be with us forever.
I have been fortunate to have clear skies for a number of Christmas nights. I was again blessed in that way this year. I used the opportunity to take NB data for the Jellyfish Nebula. I also got luminosity data for NGC 2841, one of the targets in my list that I haven't imaged yet.
In the meantime, I have processed some data I took on 18th and 19th of December. Subs were 5 minutes in length binned 1x1. I ended up with:
Red: 19 subs
Green: 15 subs
Blue: 15 subs
Total integration time was 245 minutes (4 hours 5 minutes). This was a pretty tough target for me. NGC 1333 is located in Perseus.

Well, my wife went off shopping so I got a chance to process IC 443, the Jellyfish. Subs were 10 minutes each binned 1 by 1. For Ha, and OIII I ended up with 12 subs each. I got 11 SII before switching targets. Total integration time was 5 hours 50 minutes. The Jellyfish is strong in Ha and SII. The SII is surprisingly strong. The OIII on the otherhand is pretty weak. Here are the results in the Hubble Palette, SHO.
