Description

Widefield image of The Veil Nebula or Cygnus Loop in the Constellation Cygnus the Swan.

A 10,000 year old exploded star supernova remnant, 5 moons or 130 LY wide. Glowing chaotic filaments of hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur about 1,400 LY away. The left hand side is known as the Bat Nebula - NGC6995 / the right hand side is the Witches Broom - NGC6960 / and upper right of centre is Pickerings Triangle - NGC6979.

Processed in PI - HSO. Good signal in all channels - Ha and SII almost equal. Despite the very filamentary look only Deconvolution and a light MLT sharpening were applied.
