Description

This image shows the remnants of a supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054 and lies around 6500 light years away from us.
The beautiful array of colour is produced from using the standard Hubble palette of Sulphur [II], Hydrogen alpha and Oxygen [III] filters mapped to the Red, Green and Blue channels respectively.
The stars are standard RGB colours
Total integration was 6h 5 mins of SHO plus 30 mins of RGB (10 mins each)
