The Spaghetti Nebula...or part thereof

[lukebl]

Here's a thing we don't see very often. This intriguing tangle is a brighter part of the vast Spaghetti Nebula, also known as Simeis 147, SNR G180.0-01.7 and Sharpless 2-240. It's a supernova remnant with an approximate age of 40,000 years, and about 3 degrees across straddling Auriga and Taurus. This shows an area of 29.2 x 21.8 arcmin centred on 05h 42m 42.103, +28° 22' 14.470".

Very faint, hence about 30 hours of imaging. Very little O-iii signal, but what there is forms bright lightning-like blue streaks.
