Description

New image time! This one is a bit odd for me but I thought I would give it a go. This has a few names i.e. Abell 85, CTB1, and LBN 576, but whatever you call it, it is a burst bubble of a supernova in Cassiopeia. It lies about 9780 light years distance and is about 98 light years wide. This supernova occurred about 10 thousand years ago and is being washed away by the intersteller gases making it very hard to see. This is twelve hours, thirty minutes exposure in narrowband.
