- STELLAR SPAGHETTIOS
The Spaghetti Nebula (Simeis 147)
is a supernova remnant that spans
3 degrees of sky across Taurus and
Auriga. Its low surface brightness
makes it tricky to observe visually.
This image comprises 55 hours of
exposure with a 4.2-inch scope,
mostly in HOO filters. • Yann Sainty - HUNTING COLORS
Orion and Taurus glitter with cool
blues and brilliant reds in this
photocollage of stars that are
magnitude 5 and brighter. They
were captured with a smartphone
through a telescope placed out of
focus to emphasize the stars’ colors.
