Description

This is Pickering's Triangle which is part of the much larger Veil Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus, The Swan. I took a wide field shot of the Veil, a Supernova remnant, last summer and wrote about it here

This new image was taken with my telescope rig in at Pixel Skies Astro  in Spain. It consists of 18 hours each of Ha and OIII narrowband data combined in the HOO palette. All exposures were 10 minutes each.

Details and photos of my telescope are here.
