Target Details
1E 2259+586 is one of the msot studied magnetars to date, it was the first Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) to be discovered, this took place in 1981. It is located at a distance of around 13,000 light years from Earth, +/- 2600Lye. It is near the centre of a supernova remnant called G109.1-1.0, which is close to the HII region Sh2-152. Sh2-152 is within the frame of my full image & was visible during early stages of my image processing.
