Description

The Witch's Broom is the western part of the Veil Nebula, a remnant of a star that went supernova about 10,000 years ago. It was an easy target and fun to process. Using only Ha and OIII and displayed with the HOO palette. This was all the data I could get as the weather has turned as we move into the fall cloudy season.
