Description

The Veil Nebula is the visible part of a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. It is 2400 light years away from earth. The star that exploded as the source of this supernova was 20 times more massive than the Sun.

Unfortunately, I had to discard 13 more subs of 10 min exposure time due to dew and fogging. :-(   Will again have to add more exposure time later.

Lessons learned one more time! ;-)

Description: I again used Bill Blanshan's great tools for Narrowband Normalization (and others ...). Thanks to Bill !!!
I think it doesn't look bad in Hubble colors. What do you think?
