SH2-96 (Narrowband): Supernova remnant in Cygnus

These filaments are remnants of a supernova that include SH2-96, SH2-94 and SH2-91. The field of view of the FLT132 (even with the 0.72x FLAT8 reducer) doesn't cover the full region, but it offers a closer look at SH2-96, which is rich in Ha (red) and Oiii (blue).

 

I used my William Optics FLT132, ASI2600MC Pro camera, Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm narrowband filter, on a ZWO AM5 mount. In these short summer nights, I needed two nights and up to 10 minute subs to get some decent signal for a total of just over 7 hours integration time.

 

More acquisition details as well as other versions (e.g. starless) in astrobin: astrob.in/myebzs/0/

 

Thanks for looking and Clear Skies!
