Description

Simeis 147 also known as the Spaghetti nebula is a very faint and large supernova remnant that exploded approximately 40,000 years ago. Capturing the image with the RedCat 51 and the dual narrowband optolong L-ultimate went well -and I got very good signal in all subs. Processing was a real challenge and I started over many times until I figured out how to approach this huge target. The outer areas of the nebula  came up really subtle and beautiful. Overall I believe the effort paid off.
