Description

The name of Fireworks Galaxy is due to the high frequency of supernovas in this galaxy. In the last century 10 supernovas are discovered, the last one in 2017/05/14 by Patrick Wiggnins. This supernova, named 2017eaw, is still visible. The star seems red in my photography. I think that is due to influence of the Ha filter, in spite of I used an star mask to apply the Ha master.

L: 48X5’ = 240’

R: 17X8’ = 136’

G: 22X8’ = 176’

B: 20X8’ = 160’

Ha: 21X15’ = 315’

Total: 1027 = 17 h 7’
