The Spaghetti nebula
More formally known as Simeis 147, the spaghetti nebula is a supernova remnant in the constellation Auriga, the remains of a star which exploded around 40,000 years ago. It is a very large nebula - filling the widefield frame of my WO Redcat51 + QHY268C system - but, also very faint and this image is a total of over 23 hours exposure. This was my first use of the Optolong L-eXtreme dual narrowband filter and I am very pleased with the result. Image acquisition was controlled via Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2, all post-processing was with PixInsight.
Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand.
