Description

Veil Nebula in Cygnus is a large and faint supernova remnant(SNR), which is a final stage of massive stars. Two images were captured with different field of views, locations, and filter systems. First one at DSW, LRGB filters were used along with Ha to boost up detail of nebularsity. As for the second, I used only two narrow-band filters of Ha and OIII. Much more deep HLRGB with total 18.5 hours shows more natural looking colors and faint details. In the other hands, Ha+OIII shows more dramatic dynamics towards short wavelength as a SNR, even though with just 3.3 hours at urban city area.
