Description

Here is a close up of the Eastern Veil supernova remnant in Cygnus. As we know you there are so many parts to the Loop to image, but for this shot I have focused in on NGC6995 and the Bat Nebula.  The image was captured over three astronomical twilight nights here in the UK. I am around 50 degrees north, so I currently have about three hours of twilight. Because of this I use my narrowband filters to try and block some of the scattered sunlight still visible close to the horizons. I used the lExtreme and a simple IR cut to obtain the natural star colour.
