Description

Abell 85 (CTB1) is a supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia. It's about a half a degree in diameter, almost the size of the full moon. The 7:00 position has ruptured, thus the supernova remnant is also known as the "Popped Balloon Nebula". It's very faint and is located approximately 9,780 light-years from Earth with an apparent diameter of 98 light-years.
The image consists of 5 hours each SHO @600s/sub, taken with Telescope Live's SPA-3 Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4/FLI PL 16803.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
