Description

This extremely faint supernova remnant (SNR), currently without a name or designation other than its galactic coordinates, is about 7,000 light-years (ly) from Earth, with a diameter of approximately 120 ly.  In the image, north is up. 

As seen in this image, the SNR emits a very strong OIII signal with only a few strands of interlaced Ha/SII with some heavier Ha/SII emitting nebulosity at the southern tip. 

The SNR is located just to the west of the elbow in the Monoceros Loop Nebula (SNR), the edge of which can be seen on the right (east) side of the image.  The Monoceros Loop contains the Rosette Nebula (to the east) as well as the Cone Nebula (to the north).

The stars in the image have been reduced in number/intensity to better show the outline and extent of SNR206.9+2.3.
