Image-field position and adopted distance
R Aquarii image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 23.7 h, Dec -15.3° in Aquarius, at an adopted distance of 1,000 light-years.
Also known as R Aqr, R Aquarii binary.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

R Aquarii (stellar outflow nebula; central source R Aquarii, illuminating stellar system): projected footprint at the adopted distance 0.6 × 0.4 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 0.3 light-years.
An archived emission-line composite, not a live eruption. Diffraction spikes belong to the telescope. Projected structure follows the credited observation at its published angular scale and an approximate adopted distance. Shallow depth is illustrative, not measured tomography. The source palette is preserved; brightness is adjusted for the navigable view.
