Description

The Spaghetti Nebula is a supernova remnant in the region of Auriga and Taurus. It is approximately 3000 light years from earth. It is believed to be about 40,000 years old. It has a thin filamentary structure that spans about 3 degrees in the sky. 
The subframes were acquired over November 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28. I used 43.5 hours of data. Drizzle data was also used.
This was acquired in my Bortle 5 backyard in Oro Valley, Arizona as well as Bortle 8 skies in Glendale, Arizona while vacationing for the Thanksgiving holiday.
