NGC 6960, 6992, 6995, & IC 1340 - The Veil Nebula -250916

NGC 6960, 6992, 6995, & IC 1340 - The Veil Nebula -250916

The Veil Nebula or Cirrus Nebula is the visible part of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), which is a large supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cygnus. It is an emission nebula measuring nearly 3° across. Radio, infrared, and X-ray images reveal the complete loop.

This stack of 133 one-minute exposures was taken with my QHY268C on my AT60ED with 0.8x focal reducer and processed in PixInsight.
