3C 58 - Supernova Remnant (attempt)

3C 58 (Cassiopeia) Further attempted image of the supernova remnant 3C 58 30 min total exposure (again the SN remnant is not visible)

CCD Image (50% size) 10 x 180s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, C Filter 2021-09-08 23:32 UT (#913037-46) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2

3C 58 Region - Detail Although image quality is good with sharply defined stars there is no hint of any nebulosity

Reference Image rescaled to same scale as above image

3C 58 Region - Earlier Image (2020-01-20) Image affected by poor seeing but no sign of supernova remnant in this image  (24 min total exposure )

CCD Image (85% size, cropped) 8 x 180s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, C Filter 2020-01-20 02:03 UT (#743073-82) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2

3C 58 Region - Detail  (2020-01-20) No sign of  supernova remnant in this image  when image is pushed to maximum contrast
