Supernova Remnant Veil Nebula HOO with Rgb Stars.

Hi. This is my take on a section of the Veil Nebula. A rare foray into narrowband for me and a target selected on a whim while trying to stay as far from the moon as practicable. 

The Veil Nebula resides 2,100 light years away in the constellation Cygnus and is one of the best known supernova remnants. Known for it's whispy filamentary structures it's all that remains of a star that was about 20 times as massive as our own. Estimated to have gone supernova some 10,000 years ago it would have been bright enough to have cast shadows here on Earth! It's suspected that before the star exploded it expelled a strong stellar wind, blowing a large cavity into the surrounding gas.

"As the shock wave from the supernova expands outwards, it encounters the walls of this cavity — and forms the nebula's distinctive structures," they added. "Bright filaments are produced as the shock wave interacts with a relatively dense cavity wall, whilst fainter structures are generated by regions nearly devoid of material. The Veil Nebula's colorful appearance is generated by variations in the temperatures and densities of the chemical elements present." ESA

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my thread on how to add rgb stars to narrowband.

That's a lovely set of images, but I'm afraid the new 'hi-res image display' meant this page too two minutes and fifty seconds to load on my slow broadband.

I hope this isn't the end of enjoying SGL for me ?

Thanks Neil. I hope this isn't the end of your enjoyment too.

Outstanding. How many pieces did you mosaic together ?

Thanks Adam. Just the one frame here. I'm already on to the next target. It will take at least 3 good nights. I'm excited about this one.

@Allinthehead i've just had the pleasure of viewing this on my monitor at home. Everything about it is simply amazing. The stars, the background, the details, it is stunning in every way. Congrats! 

Thanks Ciarán very nice of you to say.

Superb! and new composition of these objects (new to me anyway ? )

I really like this.

Thanks for that David, glad you like it.
