V1500 Cyg shows an extended image on a red plate taken on 1979 August 27. The application of image-restoration techniques reveals an asymmetric shell concentrated in the NW quadrant. The nebular expansion parallax yields a distance of 1350 pc, which is in good agreement with earlier results based on different methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
