Description

Westerhout 63
This is a massive supernova remnant (SNR G 082.2+05.3).
I collected data in the fall of 2023. To reveal the very faint Westerhout 63 supernova remnant, long-term exposure with an OIII filter is required. This image was taken with the Telescope Service 65Q APO f6.5 telescope.
This target is located in a dense region of bright nebulae in Cygnus, very close to Deneb and the Pelican nebula.
Studies by professional astronomers have estimated the distance at 10,000 light-years. The red emission nebulae of this area are not related to W63 but are located at a different distance.
