Getting Started with PHD2 Autoguiding

In this video I will show my experience over a couple of nights shooting the Jellyfish Nebula, IC443. This amazing deep sky object is the remnants of a supernova explosion, and can be challenging to image due to the two bright stars Propus and Tejat, that frame the Nebula. Imaging without washing these out and overexposing them requires some tricky post editing techniques. My main objective in this imaging session was to get PHD2 autoguiding working properly, which I achieved, so the image was just a bonus result. I will definitely be going back to this Nebula for more time and exposure to further enhance the image and bring out the wonderful details this Nebula is still hiding from my image.
