| Notes: | This supernova remnant sits approximately 5,000 light years away in the constellation of Gemini. Commonly referred to as The Jellyfish for obvious reasons, it is comprised mostly of hydrogen alpha so I used a filter for that to image it, thus everything being red. The really bright star at the top of the image is the star Eta Geminorum. |
