Veil Nebula

The Veil Nebula Complex - (NGC 6960, NGC 6992, NGC 6974), 09/25/2021

 

I went to Ahsahka Idaho again last weekend but this time I just brought my small “travel” setup. This is just an astro-modified Canon DSLR, a 200mm lens and a star tracking mount. This system is definitely smaller, lighter and easier to travel with, but it is a bit more difficult to use and does not give the same results. But I enjoyed the challenge and had fun playing with it. I was able to spend one night capturing this region of the sky.

 

This is the Veil Nebula Complex. It is the remains of a Supernova that exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago in the Cygnus Loop. This Complex covers an area of sky 36 times the area of the full moon.
