Description

Object type : supernova remnant
Distance : 9,800 lightyears
Diameter : 98 lightyears

For me, this object is extremely difficult to photograph. The surface brightness is very low, and on a single shot of 2 minutes, you didn't see any nebulosity. I shooted exposures for almost 6 hours, and I definitely need more exposures for more nebulosity detail. Also this area has a lot of stars. I removed the stars with first, than put the brightest stars back. Definitely going to shoot more in the future, and put all data together to get a better photo. At least it was fun to shoot such a difficult object.
