Description:
15,000 years ago a star went BOOM about 2,000 light years from the earth... and this beautiful supernova remnant (referred to as the Cygnus Loop or Veil Nebula complex) is what's left of that massive explosion in the constellation Cygnus. This bubble of Sii, Ha and Oiii gas is roughly 120 LY across and moving at an estimated half a million miles/hr - if you could see it with the naked eye it would be the width of six full moons (roughly 3 degrees in the night sky). This was the culmination of three nights of imaging - two at Livingston Manor (Bortles 3) & one at Jenny Jump State Park (Bortles 5) using a Takahashi Epsilon 130ed & Asi6200mm pro with 2.5nm Antlia SHO 2" filters - totaling roughly 11hrs of integration. All subs were captured using an Asi Air plus at 300s @ Unity Gain & -10c.
