Description

G 65.3+5.7 ("the little Cygnus Veils"), is a faint SNR localized in Cygnus.
Many diffuse and filamentary structures compose this remnant ; SH2-91, SH2-94 and SH2-96 are some of the brightest parts. The whole structure covers a field of more than 4°, which is very similar to the size of the popular Cygnus Veils. However G65.3+5.7 is much fainter, to a larger distance of about 2500 LYs as compared with 1500 LYs for the Veils, and much older (~ 30000 years vs 7500 years).

G65.3+5.7 shows a significant signal both in Halpha and OIII ; stronger in Halpha especially in the area of SH2-91 & SH2-94, but the OIII signal allows to better estimate the whole structure and limits of the SNR, while the Halpha signal tends to merge with the surrounding galactic nebulosities.
