The Western Veil

There is quite a bit of interesting stuff happening in this region. I've been working on a mosaic of the entire complex, but after 13 panels still have holes...and now the clouds are back. Obviously a better mosaic plan is needed.

 

For now here is one of the panels. There colors of this supernova remnant I've always found rather dramatic.
