Description

Here's 6 hours of 600s subs, H and OIII, of the Spaghetti Nebula taken with Telescope Live's SPA-1 scope, this December.
The Spaghetti Nebula, also known as Simeis 147, is a supernova remnant located on the borders of Auriga and Taurus.   It lies at a distance of around 3,000 light-years and has an apparent diameter of almost 3 degrees.  The star that created this nebula went supernova approximately 40,000 years ago.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
Tom
