It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), a large but relatively faint supernova remnant. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, or 36 times the area, of the full moon). The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, but Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) data supports a distance of about 1,470 light-years.[2]<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Scope Planewave 17in<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Camera Apogee U16<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Mount Paramount ME<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Filters Astrodon Ha5nm OIII3nm SII5nm<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Exposures Ha 5hrs OIII 5hrs SII7hrs 20min subs<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Location Sierra Nevada Mountains CA.

It was discovered by William Herschel on October 6 1784. Although this galaxy looks as we think our own galaxy would look like when viewed edge-on, recent high-resolution images of its dusty disk show unusual filamentary. These patterns are extending into the halo of the galaxy, away from its galactic disk. Scientists presume that supernova explosions caused this interstellar dust to be thrown out of the galactic disk toward the halo. The galaxy is a member of the NGC 1023 group of galaxies in the Local Super cluster.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Scope Planewave 17in<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Camera Apogee U16<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Mount Paramount ME<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Filters Astrodon LRGB<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Exposures R 1.5Hrs G 1.5Hrs B 1.5Hrs L 5.8Hrs LRGB 10min subs<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Location Sierra Nevada Mountains CA.

A Polar Ring Galaxy is a type of galaxy in which an outer ring of gas and stars rotates over the poles of the galaxy. A rare galaxy, these galaxies have a substantial population of stars, gas, and dust orbiting in rings, perpendicular to the plane of the galactic disk. This may have been caused by capturing material from a passing galaxy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Scope Planewave 17in<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Camera Apogee U16<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Mount Paramount ME<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Filters Astrodon LRGB<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Exposures R 2.1Hrs G 2Hrs B 3.6Hrs L 6.6Hrs LRGB 10min subs<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Location Sierra Nevada Mountains CA.
