#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. Located 2400 ly away Spans 13 min in size 50-65 ly across App Mag 7 It is located in Cygnus ©ViuMobile

A stunning image of the Veil Nebula (NGC 6979), also known as the Cygnus Loop, showcasing its intricate filaments of glowing gas in red and blue hues. This supernova remnant, spanning six times the diameter of the full moon, is a breathtaking testament to the explosive death of a massive star, light from which reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. The image highlights the wispy structure, often called Pickering's Triangle or more accurately Fleming's Triangular Wisp, a testament to the celestial wonders discovered by early female astronomers.
