Description

My first 10-minute sub project!

Abell 85 / CBT-1. A very, very faint supernova remnant in Cassiopeia. It’s around 10,000 years old, and almost 10,000 light years away. The oiii is almost non-existent in a 10 min exposure. 

A labour of love with over 70 hours of HOO data (Ha25/Oiii45) 22 nights, 425 x 600s subs. Very impressed with the detail my trusty @sky_watcher_official evostar 80mm refractor has picked up. Absolute brilliant value for money. I only lost 1 x Ha frame and 4 x Oiii frames when I was pre-processing this, so I’m super happy!

what I find very interesting, is the faint shell-like parts of the image. Quite far away from the remnant itself, they are almost the same ‘pattern’ as the outer remnant. I think this could be the shockwaves from the beginning or near the beginning, of when the star went supernova 10,000 years ago!
