A deep mosaic of [O III]5007 Å CCD images of the environment of the LBV star P Cygni.

Abstract (from CDS):
A mosaic of six, deep, CCD images in the light of the [OIII]5007Å nebular emission line has been obtained with the 1.3-m Skinakas (Crete) telescope of the filamentary nebulosity surrounding P Cygni. The [OIII]5007Å line discriminates against confusing galactic HII regions along the same sight-lines and the new mosaic did not include the 4.8mag. central star; a source of artifacts in the previous lower angular resolution observations. New giant ``lobes'' and ``shells'' are found to be clustered around P Cygni which must be the relics of historic eruptions between 2400 and up to ≃105yr ago.
