SH2-103 Cygnus Loop - telescope processed image. SH2-103, the Cygnus Loop, is a vast, ancient supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. Its visible arcs are famously known as the Veil Nebula.

SH2-103 Cygnus Loop - unprocessed image. The original supernova that created the Cygnus Loop (Veil Nebula) was so bright it would have been visible in the daytime on Earth.

I did something last night. Set the s50 to do mosaics of #Caldwell33 #TheEasternVeilNebula , #SH2-103 #CygnusLoop and #NGC6960 #TheWesternVeilNebula. Each mosaic was for 2:20 in duration. Using Affinity Photo on my iPad I made the following. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula - telescope processed image. A beautiful section of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, NGC 6960 is nicknamed the "Witch's Broom" for its delicate, long, and wispy filaments.

NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula - unprocessed image. NGC 6960 is the "Witch's Broom" Nebula! A bright, unrelated foreground star, 52 Cygni, sits right in the middle, looking like the broom's stick.

On the opposite side of the previous observation, you have #NGC6960 #WesternVeilNebula. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

#Veil Nebula #NGC6960, #NGCC6992, #NGC6995, #NGC6974, #NGC6979 30 min Exposure Aug 9th, 2025 near Oakland TX Taken with a 3" APO AT80EDT ZWO ASI2600 Duo 120s 15 subs for 30 min AM5N Mount Processed with: GraXpert, Cosmic Clarity/Seti Astro, GIMP It constitutes the visible portions 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. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in the daytime.

A stunning image of the western Veil Nebula (NGC 6960), also known as the Witch's Broom Nebula. This supernova remnant, located 1400 light-years away in Cygnus, is the result of a stellar explosion that occurred 10,000 years ago. The vibrant colors are caused by the interaction of the expanding gas with surrounding material. The nebula spans more than three times the angular size of the full moon.

A stunning telescopic image of the Witch's Broom Nebula (NGC 6960), a western segment of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant approximately 1400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The image showcases glowing filaments of atomic hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green) gas, resulting from a cataclysmic stellar explosion 10,000 years ago. The bright star, 52 Cygni, is visible in the frame. The nebula spans about 35 light-years.
