Description

Not very often you get to see a thermonuclear explosion.... well not since 2006 at least for this star. 
High clouds stopped play so I swung round to this recurring super nova as I had heard about it today and wanted to see if I could take a picture of it... this is with no filter, just straight in to the sensor for 50x10s exposures.
