Description

We have less than three hours Nautical darkness in June from my location in Ireland. The Veil nebula, a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus, is bright enough to allow me to capture many details during just two of these short nights. This is a HOO rendering with the green channel made from a weakened combination of Ha and Oiii. The stars were shot separately using RGB filters.
