Just got finished a long awaited target.
The Veil Nebula.
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus.
It constitutes the brightest parts of the visible portion of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.
