Description

Located in the border between Auriga and Taurus 3,000 L.Y. away lays this supernova remnant. It is estimated to be 40,000 years old. I have been participating in Skywatchers Target of the Month and this is November’s target. For some perspective, this target is roughly 3 degrees across, the full moon is only 1/2 a degree, So this thing is massive. Luckily I recently got the wide field imaging rig up and running so I was able to capture this target.
