Description

A capture from last night of the beautiful Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, taken through the murk and haze for a couple of hours at midnight before the clouds rolled back in. Ive added subs from about a month ago.  You can see the Eastern Veil, Pickering's triangle, NGC6960 the Western Veil, also known as the "Witch's Broom", 6974, 6977, 6995.  Capturing the delicate filament structures and colours is always the intention!
