LBN576 - The Popped Balloon?

[Andy Elliott]

This is LBN576, a faint supernova remnant in Cassiopeia. Also known as Abell85 and CTB1, and with various popular names such as ‘Popped Balloon’, ‘Garlic Bulb’, and ‘Medulla’.

This was shot over 3 months between August and November this year and represents 35hrs total exposure time split between Ha and OIII.

The stars were taken in RGB (20x30s).

This is so impressive! Wow Andy! Using 35 hours really brought out the details. I don't think I could have been that patient. I can see that's something I need to work towards to getting more time in on each target.

Thanks Jim. It helped that I could get an uninterrupted view throughout the night on this one.

Just stunning. Great detail in this. And yes collecting 35 hours of data is beyond my level of patience.

Andy,

What an excellent rendition of this iconic object. I dropped a like and comment over on AB, and thanks for the link there to see this at larger size. As I said there, one of the best I have seen of this target, love the detail and the wonderful channel separation you have achieved with all that data collected and processed.
