Description

The jellyfish nebula is a remnant of a supernova start exploding. The region is rich in Hyrdogen, Sulphr ionized gas and a small amount of Oxygen ionized gas that can be seen in the blue glow on the perimeter of the gas cloud.A winter target, the data was captured last December (very cold outside). A total of over 5 hours of integration in narrowband.A target that I enjoy attempting every year. Always a challenge.
