Veil nebula

A beautiful Hubble Space Telescope image of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant formed roughly 10 000 years ago. The Veil Nebula’s progenitor star, which was 20 times the mass of the Sun, lived fast and died young, ending its life in a cataclysmic release of energy. Despite this stellar violence, the shockwaves and debris from the supernova sculpted the Veil Nebula’s delicate tracery of ionised gas, creating a scene of astronomical beauty.

NGC 6960 is sometimes known as the Veil Nebula, sometimes as the Witches Broom, and sometimes as the Cirrus Nebula. This region is part of the Cygnus Loop

My bi-color edit of the Western Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant packed with H-alpha and Oiii. This has been a fun project, a very difficult one to capture in narrowband, maybe someday I'll add RGB stars to the scene to give it a bit more pop. I'm happy with the detail I was able to extract given the relatively short integration time, both H-alpha and Oiii managed quite a bit of signal. Shot with an ASI183mm-Pro and WO GT81 on a Sirius EQ-G mount, all subs are at Gain 178 and offset 11, 5…
