SH2-091 - The Other Veil Nebula
This is Sharpless 91 (SH2-091) located in the constellation Cygnus. This is a larger, dimmer and more ancient “veil” nebula than the well known one in Western Cygnus. This image is just one of the brighter filaments in the larger structure. We’ll have to put a wider scope on this, perhaps the Redcat51 and more time. The bright star in this image is Phi Cygni.
Tech Specs: Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED Telescope, ZWO AS2600mc-Pro running at 0C, Sky-Watcher EQ6R-Pro mount, Optolong L-eXtreme filter (2”), 12 x 300 second exposures, guided using a ZWO 30mm f/4 mini guide scope and ZWO 120 Mini, focus with a ZWO EAF, controlled with a ZWO ASIAir Pro. Processed using PixInsight and DSS. Image Date: August 24, 2022. Location: GHAAS Dark Site, Eckley, PA, USA (Bortle Class 4).
