Description

I really liked this object,  as it is bright which made it more forgiving when processing the image.

A supernova remnant nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. 

The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 / 20,000 years ago. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in the daytime.
