Description

First image of the nebula season!
This is the Cygnus Loop, a massive supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus.
The image is a mosaic of 4 panels taken over 4 different days. Each panel is approximately 3-4 hours of data.
The major areas in the photo are the Eastern Veil (on the left), Pickering's Triangle (in the middle) and the Western Veil (on the right).
I only had a few short nights this week to capture as much as possible. In my hurry to get everything set up I forgot to use my L-eXtreme filter! This just made the editing more challenging and fun though.
I definitely will be coming back to this region later in the year, with the right filter. I'd like to get at least 10 hours per panel with my current gear. There is a lot more detail to pick out!
