At variance with the other CCOs, which are only detected in the X-rays, \\cxo\\ has been possibly detected also at other wavelengths. In particular, a candidate near-infrared counterpart (H = 21.6 $\\pm$0.1) was detected by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in addition to a 6\\arcsec-wide nebula detected in H$\\alpha$, interpreted as a velocity-driven bow-shock.
