Supernova remnant in Cassiopeia.

This target is most difficult to capture and process.
I never realise how dim this really is. "Cartes Du Ciel" gives surface brightness
for this object as low as Mag 37 !
Fast optics, Tokina 300mm @ f2.8 helps to capture those few photons.
There is some internal structure details visible in S-II channel,
they can be seen in Hubble palette image as red.

There is two version of this image here, first image is in "natural" color composition
from narrowband channels, H-alpha 100% + 35%S-II = RED, O-III = GREEN and
O-III 100% + 30%H-alpha = BLUE.

Second version is Hubble palette composition. S-II =RED, H-alpha = GREEN and O-III = BLUE
