It Blowed Up Real Good - W63 (SNR G82.2+5.3) 2 Panel Mosaic

When I produced my "Meanwhile Somewhere in the Milky Way..." a few weeks back I suspected the blue OIII arc was part of something larger. So I returned and added another panel to the target W63 (SNR G82.2+5.3). W63 is a large but weak supernova remnant in Cygnus with interesting Ha in the same region. It spans an area roughly 95 x 65 arcminutes and is at a distance of 1500 light years. For scale, a full moon covers 31 arcminutes.

An X-Ray pulsar with a 36 second period has been located within W63, known as W63 X-1.

The integration time reflects the total of the 2 panels. Each panel is roughly half of the total.

The title is from SCTV - John Candy in particular. Just words I always think of when something has blown up.

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.
