Description

Pickering's Triangular Wisp - a portion of the much larger Veil Nebula complex. This image is a result of capturing the light through two very narrowband optical filters...one that passes only the light from glowing hydrogen and the other passing only the light from glowing oxygen. These two sets of data are mapped to red (hydrogen) and blue (oxygen), so that the structures from these two elements can be seen in separate detail.
