CTB1 - Supernova Remnant (Abell 85, LBN 576) - Attempt

CTB1 (Cassiopeia)
Alias: Abell 85, LBN 576, SNR G116.9+00.1
Image
Annotated CCD Image (70% size, square root scale)
3 x 180s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, Clear Filter

Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2
 
CTB1  - Negative Image
An arc of nebulosity is visible in the image.
(this is consistent with a bright section of the SNR shell- see reference image)
Image
Negative CCD Image (70% size, square root scale)
Image details as above
 
CTB1 - Reference Image (Negative)
FOV of image(s) above are indicated on the reference image by black rectangle
and confirms that the faint nebulosity in CCD Image above corresponds
with the shell-like feature in the reference image.
A longer exposure is still required in order to improve S/N

CTB1 - Reference Image
FOV of image(s) above are indicated on the reference image by white rectangle
and confirms that the faint nebulosity in CCD Image above corresponds
with the shell-like feature in the reference image.
A longer exposure is still required in order to improve S/N

CTB1  - Earlier Image (2024-08-17)
No indications of any nebolosity in earlier image of CTB1
which is consistent with its near central position which misses the brighter shell.
