Description

The Eastern Veil Nebula, a part of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant.

A ZWO duo-band filter is used, which allows H-alpha and OIII/H-beta lines to go through and not much else.

R, G, B channels are extracted, processed separately and recombined before stretching.

StarNet in PixInsight is used to separate stars and the nebulosity, which are processed separately, then recombined.

Data was taken on Sept. 17, 19, 20, and 21, with the majority of them on 20 and 21.
