Caldwell 34 The Western Veil Nebula
The Western Veil Nebula is part of a cloud of heated and ionised gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus and is approximately 1,470 light-years from Earth. It forms part of the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant from a star 20 times more massive than the Sun, that exploded around 8,000 years ago. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 6 times the diameter of the full Moon.
This image is the result of 26 x 300s exposures, captured using a QHY8L Colour CCD camera, with an Altair Astro Quad-Band Filter, attached to a Altair Wave 115ED with 0.79x reducer and field flattener.
The images were captured using Sequence Generator Pro 3, preprocessing was done using Astro Pixel Processor with final processing done in Photoshop CC.
