Smack between Eta and Mu Geminorum, which make up Castor's left foot (as in Castor and Pollux in Gemini) we find a lot of deep sky objects.
M35 (and the smaller NGC 2158) are the two open clusters to the right of the frame. Such a lovely sight through any telescope!
IC443 is the jellyfish like red nebula on the top of the image. It's actually nicknamed Jellyfish nebula! It's a "planetary" nebula, just (mostly) atomic Hydrogen gas ejected and pushed around by the intense stellar winds of a star in a Red Giant phase. The star is long dead now, with it's superdense core left as a White Dwarf, hot and emitting a lot of UV light, which in turns makes the gas glow..
IC444 is the red diffuse glow center left in the image. There's a small reflection nebula smack in the middle there (the diffuse "star"), but it's late and I don't feel like looking up what it is.
There's a lot of brown dust permeating the bottom part of the image too.
Wanna see a better shot? Phillip Perkins of AstroCruise has a good LRGB version of this:

I think I got the dust better than he did though! Well, at least till Rogelio tries this one (though I have a feeling he already did).
1h 18 minutes of exposure (8 subs) , Canon 5D MK III at ISO 1600, Borg 77 ED II + Borg 0.85x reducer. I love this little telescope. This is my final shot from the little October 2012 astrophoto expedition at Mountain Meadows, WV. Just lovely.
