Description

First try on the NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula with my Esprit 80 and Canon EOS 600Da.

The Western Veil Nebula is a supernova remnant consisting of oxygen, sulfur, and hydrogen gas. This area of Cygnus is densely populated with stars and includes regions of heated gas that make up the Cygnus Loop.
