Description

Here's an image of the "Witch's Broom" nebula that I took early Tuesday morning. Found in the constellation of Cygnus, this deep sky object is a section of the much larger Veil Nebula, which marks the site of an ancient exploding star or supernova. The feature is an emission nebula or a glowing cloud of ionized gas. Image taken with my RASA 8 telescope / ASI294 camera combo, with a combined image exposure of two hours.
