At this point in the night, sleep started to oppress my eyes, so I programmed Vespera to automatically photograph the next target, Jellyfish Nebula, for the next hour.

      Supernova remnant is the remnant of the big star died in supernova explosion. The supernova remnants are quite irregularly shaped. Rather many of them ring-like strusture.

      The moderate big instruments and possibly special filters are needed to see supernova remnants.
