Description

I love the colors and the structure of the Cygnus Loop, most especially here in Pickering's Triangle. This object is so huge that I can't fit it in a single frame, so this is two frames in HOORGB. Working with a mosaic from this camera was a bit of a challenge (not sure why my sky brightness was a bit funky) but I finally got to a result.

The eastern side of the veil looks like the creature from Alien to me, so I decided that the western side was pretty enough! Hope you all agree.

Tim.
