The Norma Supernova Remnant, RCW 103, is much smaller and fainter than the Veil in Cygnus or the huge Vela SNR. It is very hard to photograph in RGB alone against the extremely busy Milky Way background. Yellow: H-alpha 9 hrs in 1 hr subs. Blue: OIII 2.5 hrs in half hour subs. Note the strong, twisting shock-fronts. General Milky Way H-alpha emission along bottom edge. North up. STL11000M on PlaneWave 20" CDK on MI750 fork.
![Henize 206 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. See separate key image for location of the magnificent supernova remnant at 10 o'clock from centre and about 40% of the way out and strong in [SII]. Numerous shock fronts, very strong in [OIII] blue) suggest a menagerie of mythical creatures al in right profile.<br />

![This is a low-res caption for the main image. Note the three mythical animals, all in right profile, all strong in [OIII] (blue). I take the location of the SNR (very strong in [SII]) from Kavanagh PJ et al, XMM-Newton Observations of the N 206 Superbubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Sources for the animals are harder to track down.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Category/Supernova-Remnants/i-d7Fzc4f/0/de6d1bbc/Ti/Annotated%20version-Ti.jpg)
