Description

I decided to give the Eastern Veil and Pickering's Triangle a shot with RASA 8 after continuing to work on my Lagoon Nebula project in RGB and SHO. I initially just wanted to see what the data looked like, but that quickly turned into a mostly full edit. 

HOO with Hydrogen as red channel and Oxygen as both green and blue channels provide closer to real color image even though it is still a mapped color image.  The bottom right hand corner has a small portion of the Western veil nebula which may lead me to try my hand at my first mosaic. 

The Cygnus Loop Complex which compromise both Eastern and Western Veils along with several several other NGC designated areas are a Super Nova Remnant that is believed to have occurred 21,000 years ago. The complex is approximately 2,400 light years from Earth and measures an estimated 130 light years in diameter. (Wikipedia)
