Description

Spaghetti, aka Simeis 147 or Sharpless 2-240, is a supernova remnant that spans 100–160 light-years😲. Its size fits beautifully into the field of view of my Redcat🥰. I started shooting this in November '22, but I couldn't finish last winter.  Recently I took advantage of the morning visibility and the unusually good weather in September to complete the material.

This object is one that calls for unlimited integration but after 17 hours I decided that without a mono camera there will be no more oxygen and got to processing.
