Description

The Veil nebula complex, or Cygnus loop, taken from my inner city balcony under a Bortle 8/9 night sky. Narrowband filters make wonders in urban environments.

This supernova remnant is too big to fit into the field of view on my gear, so the image is a 2-panel mosaic stitched together using the Gradient Merge tool in Pixinsight.
