I finally had a chance to retrieve data from the remote observatory. Yes it is remote enough where I need to travel 3.5 hours one way to download data...

Super Nova Remnant SNR-Green G205.5+00.5 is nestled between the cone nebula Sh2-273-NGC2264 and the Rosette Nebula Sh2-274-NCG2237. The SNR G205.5+00.5 is at RA: 06h 39m 00s Dec: +06° 30' 00" in the Constellation of Monoceros.

SNR G205.5+0.5 is a large shell-type supernova remnant located in the Rosette Complex region. It is suggested that its interaction has triggered some star formation within the Rosette Nebula. This SNR is faint and large, at more than 3.5 degrees in diameter, thats 7 full moons across.

Great objects, I have wanted to image them but their location is a bit low for my site. Still I may have to give them a try after seeing this. grin

Dave,

Thanks for the education on that region between the two more famous targets! And great image, too! There's a 3D feel to the emission region around the Cone! Nice work!

That's so cool to see how some of these objects are interconnected. Here is a closer look at NGC2264. Image taken by Dennis DiCicco with the AP130 at F4.5. I did a bit of processing to reduce the stars and bring out the nebulae.
