Rarely seen supernova remnant in Cygnus .This is my best attempt at capturing a view of G82.2+5.3 SNR, a very faint supernova remnant in Cygnus. I spent 180 hours of exposure time in this area during July and August as part of a larger mosaic that I will share soon, but I wanted to share this segment of it today. The shockwave from this exploded star ionizes interstellar Oxygen in its path, generating a barely perceptible blue glow that requires narrowband exposures to see within the crowded segment of our Milky Way. I’m sharing the starless version of this because it helps to appreciate the incredible complexity of the area.
I hope you enjoy it and have a great day!
