The Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC6992)
The Eastern Veil Nebula (also known as NGC 6992) is part of a cloud of heated and ionized 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 19 x 300s exposures (4.5hrs in total), captured using a ZWO ASI2600 Colour CMOS camera, with an Altair Astro Quad-Band Filter, attached to a Altair Wave 115ED with 0.79x reducer and field flattener.
