G189.1+3.0 IC443, 3C157

• Right Ascension: 06 14 00
• Declination: +22 36
• Size (arcmin): 45
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (Jy): 160
• Spectral Index: 0.36

Radio: Limb-brightened to NE, with faint extension to the E.

Optical: Brightest to the NE, with faint filaments outside the NE boundary.

X-ray: Shell, brightest to the NE.

Distance: Mean optical velocity suggests 0.7--1.5 kpc, association with S249 gives 1.5--2 kpc.
