Image Description and Details: SNR G304.4-3.1 is a supernova remnant in the Musca constellation of the Theta Muscae multiple star system approximately 7400 light years away.
The filaments of the remnant are mainly OIII and are relatively weak, hidden in a very dense star field that because of this it was necessary to reduce the emphasis of the star field to appreciate them. The general area is rich in alpha hydrogen content. The remnant is believed to be not directly related to Theta Muscae (ϴ Mus)
