Another name for it is the "Spaghetti" Nebula. The star exploded about forty thousand years ago, leaving behind a huge "tangle" of gas filaments, shock waves, and the neutron star pulsar PSR J0538+2817. It is located about 3000 light-years away from us.

There was no Moon, but the sky was still quite washed out, so this is the result I got. Maybe next year the sky will be better.

Full calibration was applied.
