Description

The Veil Nebula is part of the Cygnus Loop, the remains of a supernova that took place between 10,000-20,000 years ago. This remnant is about 2,400 light years away from Earth and contains mainly oxygen, hydrogen and sulfur...the Loop also strongly emits x-rays and radio waves.

This image represents first light for my Askar FMA180 lens as well as the focusing solution. Both more or less performed well - nice to get the whole nebula in a single pane!

Thanks for looking!
