Abell 85 SNR

#1

Post by KathyNS »


Wow, those Abell nebulae are super-faint. This is the second one I have attempted. I have nearly 20 hours in it, and it still could use another 20 or 30 hours. Maybe next year.

Abell-85, a supernova remnant.

That is a beautiful image. I wish I had the patience to put in that kind of time on a single target. My longest project so far is only 12 hours over two nights.
