Span the Veil
This is a chunk of the Western Veil Nebula, also known as Caldwell 34. The whole Veil Nebula is huge... way too large for my telescope/camera rig to capture in one frame. I'm not yet at the point in my astrophotography journey where I'm beginning to stitch together mosaics, so you get small parts of large things featured, like this. This star-forming region is about 2,400 light-years away in the direction of Cygnus.
I shot this a few weeks ago, just as I was coming out of troubleshooting some issues with my gear. Things have been going pretty smoothly since then! This particular image came from about 5 hours of narrowband integration time, exposing in Sulfur-ii, Hydrogen-alpha, and Oxygen-iii, then mapping those to the Hubble Palette.
