Description

The Cygnus Loop includes Western and Eastern Veil Nebulae, the Pickering's Triangle, the Southeastern Knot, and a few other DSOs. A 280mm telescope captures it almost in its entirety. It wasn't my intended target for the night, but Rho Ophiuchi was blocked by clouds while The Veil was clear and almost at the meridian. So I took what's available. With only 30 5-minute subs and many interfered by clouds, this wasn't too bad. The full moon and perhaps a couple of typhoons are on the way so I am done for the month. Let's hope for more clear skies in August when I will have my new Sky-Watcher Newtonian 200/F4.
