The death of the star

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a star exploded. The photons of this sudden agony arrive on Earth, after a path of more than 20 million years.
This is a 25min stacked image taken with me small refractor (FS60CB+0.72x) and my ASI camera 2660MM.
We clearly see the supernova which is very bright. Say that on this photo it is the farthest star that is visible.
