The old supernova remnant SNR G179.0+2.6 in the constellation Auriga is dominated by OIII emissions. They form a mixture of diffuse and filamentary structures that together form a round closed shell with a diameter of about 70 arcmin.

The Ha emission significantly less pronounced and more diffuse in the form of a horseshoe-shaped, i.e. non closed ring.

 

The image data was shot with four different telescopes ( 2 x TS 130/910 mm triplet apo @ 740 mm, 1 x TS CF-Apo 80 @ 480 mm, 1 x TS 80/480 mm triplet apo @ 480 mm). The image shows the 480 mm frame. The cameras were 4 ZWO ASI2600mm pro.

Because the skies here in my place were very unfriendly the last months I was very happy that my collaboration partner fom the M!06 propject Philip @pmneo supported me with additional data from his site in Bavaria!

 

In total about 61 hours of data were used for the image integration:

409 x 300 s Ha
327 x 300 s OIII

Hello Peter,

 

this is another masterpiece of your astrophotography,

and really amazing.

 

The supernova remnants became the strange attractor of my interest in astronomy, and so I am grateful for your sharing the excellent astrophotos of the SNRs with us.

 

On a side line,

I have been observing this SNR on March 27th, 2022, through the OIII filters.

It's been tough, even if the expected position of this SNR has been easy to find south of M37,

Thank you very much for sharing,
