Description

NGC6992. I bought some new filters and haven't had a real chance to give them the run through. 6.5 hours over the last 2 nights. Individual frames were 30 minutes per exposure... a new record for me. I'm so glad the smoke finally moved on!

This object is called the Witches Broom and is a part of a larger supernova remnant complex that includes the Pickering's Triangle and the Western Veil Nebula in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. It is visible with the naked eye in large telescopes.
