Description

A complex SNR located in Cygnus. Loaded with many targets that are appreciated when it becomes available. It has the Eastern Veil, Pickering's Triangle, Western Veil, NGC 6979, NGC 6974. It was my first real try at this target. I tried a few years ago with just my dslr/redcat 51/tracker and the results were nothing to write home about. The effort here, to me, is more than I expected. It's a wonderous thing to think that something so beautiful came from the death of a once thriving star.
