W63 (Westerhout 63) supernova remnant, (SNR G 082.2+05.3)
Vi ser den i bildet som en blå eggformet ring. Den befinner seg ca 5000 lysår vekke og har en utstrekning på ca 150 lysår.
Forøvrig er det som mange steder ellers i dette stjernebilde mye H-alfa signal.
Helt i høyre bildekant rett ut for de to sterkeste stjernene kan vi skimte StDr 139 (Skarpen Nebula). Den ble oppdaget i 2021 i et bilde tatt av Ola Skarpen.
