Description

NGC 6960 Veil Nebula as known as the Witches Broom is part of a complete supernova remnant that lies about 1400 light-years away towards the constellation Cygnus. This Witch's Broom actually spans about 35 light-years. The bright star in the frame is 52 Cygni, visible with the unaided eye from a dark location but unrelated to the ancient supernova remnant.
