The Pencil Nebula from a 17" Scope
🕑 Added 2021-03-19 02:23:13 +0000 UTCThis is actually not from my telescope, but from one down in Chile. A few members of the astrophotography community are challenging astrophotographers to try their hand at processing the data from this telescope, and this was my image from the data. This was shot at nearly 3,000mm, so is highly magnified.
What you're seeing here is a supernova shockwave travelling through space!
