W63 Super Nova Remnant (G82.2+5.3)

I decided to take a break on my second rig from planetary nebula to a super nova remnant. The OIII was extreme faint and even after all my integration time, I had to really push the data. Obviously this is just a part of it, but my favorite part.

W63 is a large and faint supernova remnant with a size of 95x65 arcminutes located in a complex region of nebulosity in Cygnus. Obviously this is just a part of it, but my favorite part. Otherwise catalogued as G82.2+5.3, the name of W63 comes from the Westerhout catalogue of radio sources, which was published by the astronomer Gart Westerhout in 1958. The optical emission seems to be exclusively reserved to the OIII emission line and requires a long exposure to be visible. The structure consists of thin sharply defined filaments that form a vaguely oval shell. Studies by professional astronomers have estimated the distance to be 10,000 light years. The red emission nebulosity in this area is unrelated to W63 as it lies at a different distance. These nebulae are catalogued in the LBN and DWB catalogues, most notably LBN 325 being the large nebula.

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.
