Description

Object type : supernova remnant
Distance : 3,000 lightyears

I had been planning the Spaghetti nebula for a long time. This week the conditions were perfect for this nebula. 4 nights of clear nights, without moonshine. It is a very dim nebula, so I shot several evenings with different filters, and finally merged these results with Astro Pixel Processor to get this result.
