Description

The Spaghetti Nebula is a large faint super nova remnant straddling Taurus and Auriga. According to Wikipedia it is about 3000 light years distant and the result of a stellar explosion 40000 years ago.  This is a narrowband image H-alpha and Oxygen III.  After calibration starnet++ was used to remove the stars then about 50% of the star brightness was added back.  Exposures were long, 16 minutes, 10 in H-alpha, and 8 in Oxygen III.
