Description

RCW 89 is a dim, and rarely imaged supernova remanant in the constellation Circinus.
This target is probably part of a larger supernova remanant including RCW 87 and RCW 88.
Mostly H-alpha, but a good amount of Sulphur and a tiny showing of Oxygen.  If you search online you can find some great X-ray images of this target showing very different details.

I would have liked to have captured more data on this target but the weather turned against me, and I ended up with about 3 hours of usable subs in total.
Future challenge, get a full night of Oiii data and see what is there
