About this image

IPHASX J195318
A strange and intriguing irregular nebula with lots of interlocking filaments in the constellation Cygnus. Theories include it being a possible supernova remnant but has also been notified as a candidate planetary nebula or possibly just ionised interstellar medium. It was found in the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H-alpha Survey of the North Galactic Plane.
This was a collaboration with my great friend Sven Eklund.
Data capture by myself and Sven Eklund from our remote observatories in Spain.
A total of 29 hours 15 minutes (HaOIIIRGB)
