Super Nova Remnant (SNR) G82.2+5.3 (also referred to as W63), seems to be exclusively in the OIII emission line and requires a very long exposure time to make a visible image. (There is little or no sign of the SNR in a 10 minute exposure). The structure consists of thin sharply defined filaments that form a vaguely oval shell. It is believed to be located at a distance of 10,500 light years and based on observations, an age of between 14,000 to 21,000 years has been estimated.
This was a personal challenge – something I wanted make a full image of, since I first noticed part of it in one of my previous images. My first attempt, last year, was really quite poor.

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.
