SNR G181.1 is an extremely faint supernova remnant located in the constellation Auriga. Born from the explosion of a massive star, this expanding cloud of gas interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium, revealing delicate filamentary structures mainly visible in Ha and OIII emission. Its very low surface brightness makes it a challenging target, requiring long hours of integration to unveil its subtle details.
