Description

And my journey in the constellation of Cygnus continues.  Not far from Pickering's Triangle this area is located, which is also called Western Veil Nebula. Impressive structures and filaments of supernova remnants show up here. The central star 52 Cyg is a challenge for image processing, but I think it integrates quite harmoniously. Although I used only pure narrowband data in SHO to show the nebulae area, I wanted a color representation more familiar from OSC images. For the color calibrated stars I also created additional RGB images again.
