Description

Simeis 147, SNR G180.0-01.7 or Sharpless 2-240, also known as The Spaghetti Nebula.
This is a supernova remnant in The Milky Way and between the constellations of Auriga and Taurus.
It spans about 160 light years and almost fits into my field of view with my Askar FMA 180 scope.
It is about 3000 light years away.

This was incredibly tough to process trying to bring out a very weak signal even though I have almost 12 hours on it.
Bad gradients due to light pollution and moon glow were contributing factors to the difficult processing experience.
