Description

SNR G065.3+5.7 is the remnant of a supernova located in the constellation Cygnus, near the border with Vulpecula (the Little Cygnus Veils).
  • It spans an area of approximately 4.0×3.3 degrees in the sky and has a diameter of about 230 light-years.
  • The shell is primarily composed of OIII emissions, with some H-alpha signal.
  • SNR G065.3+5.7 was discovered during the study of the Milky Way in the OIII channel by Gull, Kirshner, and Parker in 1977.
  • Some parts of the SNR were previously cataloged by Stewart Sharpless in his SH2 catalog as SH2-91, SH2-94, and SH2-96, but they were not recognized as part of a larger structure.
  • The age of the object is estimated to be 20,000 - 25,000 years, and it is located at a distance of approximately 2600 – 3200 light-years from Earth.
  • The red star near the center is the planetary nebula PK064+05.1 - Campbell’s Hydrogen Star.

The frame is a two-panel mosaic of LRGB + OIII and Ha data, which I started collecting back in July 2023.

The object is also known by the name G65.3+5.7
