Description

A two panel mosaic of the Veil Nebula Complex captured during one night. The yellowish glow to the right of NGC 6960 (the Western part of the Veil Nebula a.k.a. the Witch's Broom) with bright star 52 Cygni is not a colour gradient but actual dust or nebulas. The same is true for the tornado shaped grey 'smudge' in the lower right corner.

UPDATE 18 September 2022
Reprocessed the image using the latest version of Russell Croman's StarXTernimator (2.0.2 AI version 11 lite).
