Rcw 103

A faint supernova remnant, not a common amateur target, but the neutron star is of interest to the professional.

I took the image with the primary purpose of locating the neutron star but unfortunately it is outside the field of view.

2 hrs red luminance, 1 hr R, 1 hr G, 1 hr B BRC-250.

An interesting X-ray image from NASA can be found at:
