Veil Nebula Super Nova Remnant
SNR in Cygnus

This really deep shot
of the Veil nebula in Cygnus records so much hydrogen nebulosity,
the entire field is filled with its ephemeral glow. This is the
first image with our new hard to obtain Baader f/2 OIII filter
which took me the better part of a year to get and I had to have
it shipped direct from Germany. I was struck by the large number
of thin red filaments around the periphery of this object, and
how it blends seamlessly into the general background hydrogen
glow of the Cygnus region.

This is the Context
image of the Veil Nebula in Cygnus taken simultaneously with
the RASA 11 shot posted earlier this week. While this deep shot
does not show the intricate details and resolution of the RASA
shot, it reveals that the entire field surrounding the Veil is
filled with red and pink glowing hydrogen. The other target of
interest in this wide field shot is the large open cluster in
the lower right corner - NGC6940 which uncondensed and splashy.
