Pickering Triangle in the Veil Nebula
This object is part of a beautiful supernova remnant located 1500 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus known as the Veil Nebula (or Cygnus Loop). Pickering's Triangle is the least known of the 3 main supernova remnants of the massive and beautiful Veil Nebula. The other 2 remnants are NGC 6960 and NGC 6992/6995.
