G4.5+6.8     Kepler, SN1604, 3C358

• Right Ascension: 17 30 42
• Declination: −21 29
• Size (/arcmin): 3
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 19
• Spectral Index: 0.64

Notes: This is the remnant of Kepler's SN of AD1604.

Radio: Incomplete shell, brighter to the N.

Optical: Faint filaments.

X-ray: Shell, brighter to the N.

Distance: Optical expansion and proper motion indicates about 2.9 kpc, HI observations suggest 3.4 to 6.4 kpc.
