This is a VERY faint supernova remnant that is a very difficult and rarely imaged target located in the constellation of Auriga. The distance of the structure is estimated at 14,700 light years from the solar system with an estimated age of between 13,000 and 24,000 years. The surface brightness of this object is extremely low and it was barely visible on the individual subframes.
