Description

Object type : Supernova remnant
Distance : 2,400 lightyears
Diameter : 130 lightyears

This supernova remnant is actually too big to shoot in one view. That's why I did choose to photograph the west-side (NGC6960) and the east-side (NGC6992) separate.  I had to stitch the two photos together to get one bigger photo with the whole nebula in it.
