Description

I couldn't resist the opportunity to photograph an active supernova, especially one situated in a galaxy 21 million light years away.
The image is processed from a stack of subs some taken both before the emergence of the supernova (18/03/23) and some after (22/05/23), but the Supernova itself was processed by stacking only the subs taken on 22/05/23.
