Description

This Supernova remnant (G65.3+5.7) in the southern part of Cygnus is about as big as the Veil nebulae complex but much weaker. It is also further away, about 2500 Ly  as compared to 1500 Ly for the Veil nebulae, and it is four times older (about 30000 years), so in reality it must be bigger than the Veil. Indeed, it does extend a bit outside my field of view although I caught most of the brighter parts.

This is a 2-panel mosaic HaOiii image acquired over two nights with the IDAS NBZ filter on my dual-RASA8 rig. Starless processing was essential to bring out the faint nebulosity.

Description: I was never happy with this one, with the patchy blue nebulosity, so I totally reprocessed it, including using the latest version of StarXterminator. More happy with it now.
