Hi everyone,
In the process of randomly reading articles on Wikipedia, I came across this rather interesting supernova remnant from a comparatively recent and very bright (supposedly the brightest in recorded history) supernova that occurred in 1006 CE. After a bit of surface level research, I was unable to find any amateur images of it. So has anyone ever imaged this SNR, or know someone who has? Judging by the Wikipedia images, it's fairly visible in X-ray wavelengths, but it seems to be much fainter (but maybe still visible?) in the wavelengths that we amateur astrophotographers can capture, namely H-alpha (see below).
Thanks in advance for reading and replying.
Image - from Finkbeiner survey (using Telescopius), at max brightness looks like there is a large, faint ring of Ha right around the site of the SNR
