The Cygnus loop in the Constellation of Cygnus (The Swan) is a lovely area containing fragments from a Super Nova Explosion in which a large star exploded, destroying itself.
The Cygnus Loop has 2 main halves The Eastern Veil and The Western Veil. The loop contains some spectacular objects like the Witch's Broom, the Bat and Pickering's Triangle. The Cygnus Loop is about 1,800 light years from Earth.
This picture is a snippet of the Eastern Veil. At one end of this wispy thread of Hydrogen (red), Oxygen and Nitrogen (blue) it spreads out and looks like a flying bat. Hence the name given to NGC 6995 is the Bat Nebula. You should be able to see the head and ears at the left hand edge of the picture, the body is below that and a hooked wing spread out to the left.
My 11" Celestron gets so close that it could only capture a part of the bat. I intend to return soon with my 5" Celestron to see if I can get the whole bat in one bite as Ozzy Osbourne might say.

It was a bit risky to take this as its still on east side of meridian, and north too, and that's where all the bad light pollution is, but i think i lucked out! a combination of very good flats, and a good "light pollution gradient" removal technique, got me a solid shot.
