G179.0+02.6 SNR

This very faint supernova remnant (SNR) is located 11,000 light years away in the constellation of Auriga at a declination of +31 degrees. The SNR spans about 1 degree in our apparent view, which corresponds to a diameter of 220 light years. This object lies between the star cluster M37 and the Spaghetti SNR (Sh2-240).

Like most SNR, this object was first detected by its radio emissions (in 1986). It was first imaged optically in 2018.

I could barely pull this object out of the background, which is surprising given my fast RASA setup. This is a very dim object. The Ha signal is almost zero. Of all of the SNRs in my Astrobin Collection, this object is by far the dimmest.

I will come back next season for more time on this one.

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.
