 title/keyword/abstract
 Milne 56
- Right Ascension: 18 02 10 
 - Declination: −24 54
 - Size (/arcmin): 35 
 - Type: C?
 - Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 35? 
 - Spectral Index: 0.2?
 
Notes: Part been called G5.3−1.0. Has been suggested that this is not a SNR.
- Radio: Incomplete shell, including wide `v' of emission to E with small flat-spectrum source at apex.
 
- Optical: Detected.
 
- X-ray: Pulsar detected, with faint extension.
 
- Point sources: Pulsar nearby, in flat spectrum source.
 
- Distance: HI absorption suggests >4.3 kpc, optical extinction suggests 3.9 kpc.
