Barnard 175, vdB 152, HH 450 and a SNR (Kevin Morefield)

Barnard 175, vdB 152, HH 450 and a SNR

Lot's going on in this image - Barnard 175 is a Bok globule with a reflection nebula, vdB 152 on top of it. Seemingly embedded in the nebula is Herbig Haro object HH450 (the little bright red spot in the brown dust). Who doesn't love a Bok globule and a Herbig Haro object? But what really drew me to this was seeing the supernova remnant that lies behind all of these.

I've not seen any official designation for the SNR, possibly because is very faint. I ended up shooting 57 twenty minute Ha subs to try and bring it out as best I could. The LRGB subs total 17.17 hours here.

EDIT

Gabriel located great source for this region that identifies the SNR as G110.3+11.3. It also details how these objects may be interacting:

“The filaments comprising G110.3+11.3 appear brightest where they come closest to B175. Thus, the supernova remnant must be interacting with the relatively tenuous outer parts of this small molecular cloud, and we conclude that G110.3+11.3 is at the same distance as B175...

...The Bok globule B175 exhibits two different types of shock waves; one from a dying star and another from a forming star. Amazingly, the two shocks appear to be heading toward a frontal collision. Assuming a tangential HH flow velocity of 100 km s-1 and a velocity of about 300 km s-1 for the supernova remnant, the encounter will take place about 1000 yr from now if both shocks are moving in the plane of the sky.”

They also noted that this may be the closest known supernova remnant. See the URL in Gabriel’s comment.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
