Description

Supernova Remnant CTB 1 Listed on Stellarium as Abell 85 or SNR G116.9 + 00.1  Some confusion (on my part) finding information because Abell 85 is also listed as a Galaxy Cluster.  - This object is a very faint circumpolar object 34' wide (which is an excellent size for my 620 mm focal length.)  It is about 10,100 light years away and has a Neutron star as a remnant.  It looked like a good choice for a challenge of the light gathering ability of my scope.  Tried some experimental (for me) processing methods with Starnet and Pixelmath which probably resulted in some overprocessing issues.  A good subject to add more data later and experiment to refine processing procedures.
