      Description

      In 2018 the Gaia DR2 survey has disclosed an unusually high proper motion white dwarf. Extrapolated backwards in time this star appeared passing near the geometric center of a vast supernova remnant SNR G70.0–21.5 in Pegasus. Astronmers consider this white dwarf being associated with a 90,000 years ago Type Ia supernova. Looks like the image I am posting here is only the second amateur photo of this object. Please see the wonderful Bray Falls' image and the link to the corresponding article on this SNR.
      Perhaps I'd better have turned the frame clockwise 45 degrees or so. In vain did I hope that the object would fit Sigma's wide FOV

      North is right, East is up.  Abell-74 PN is at the right edge of  the frame.
