SNR G126.2+01.6 and surroundings (first color image)

Another project from the New Horizon by Tim Schaeffer, me and Sendhil Chinnasamy. This is the first ever color image of the SNR G126.2+01.6 and surroundings!

SNR G126.2+01.6 was partially imaged by Nicolas Outters in 2020: SNR G126.2+01.6 – Outter’space Astrophotography (outters.fr)

 

We took on this region to image this low surface brightness SNR and its surrounding regions. Imaging was done in Sendhil’s backyard, which is slowly becoming light polluted. In the course of imaging, he ran into halos with the O3 filter, and had to get Chroma replace it with their F/3 version once he explained his imaging train.
