Incredible!

Appreciate that Andy. Thank you.

Awesome to see your deep sky work again! You have nailed the details in the OIII - one strange supernova remanent. Some wicked magnetic fields going on there. But, it seems to be charging through space, as your Ha data reveals. Some additional Ha data would further detail that bow wave - the mass is moving! And hydrogen is getting a bit gee'd up there. Awesome OIII details - probably the best ever. Love it!

As I said - some bangin' OIII. Is there a pulsar happening there that we know of? I always like to know any science known about these objects.

That's a lovely result for an object that is quite faint. I like the composition and the colour looks good Martin. Detail is excellent.

Thanks Paul/Troy.

Troy - the only info I can dig up is what I posted earlier in this thread; taken from the NASA APOD page on the object.

I trawled the IAC website too but couldn't even find the image.

cheers
Martin
