About this image

Some lovely filament details here.

This well known super-nova remant is expanding rapidly (in astronomical terms) and this can be seen by inspecting images taken over the past decades. I wonder what the minimum time is to notice this between two images.

Still testing the new setup now the skies have cleared. Although this time with some flats and darks.

This faster, larger scope is great for nebulars but the set up seems prone to maxing out the charge well on the aging CCD i am using.
Shorter subs next time.
