Description

DEEPSKY SPACE OBJECT | LRGB | 250mm
THE VEIL NEBULA COMPLEX
- Constellation Cygnus

The Veil Nebula in LRGB, taken in 2023, directly from my balcony in the city under a light polluted Bortle 7 sky.
I sometimes find these supernova relics the most difficult to edit, not too much red/pink/blue, but not too little either, so that it looks homogeneous and not like plastic ^^ Elaboration in LRGB with hAlpha via Continuum Substraction and as LRGBHOO variant to follow!

The Veil Nebula Complex is a breathtaking cosmic work of art that stretches across the night sky and goes by various names - it is also known as the Cirrus Nebula or Cygnus Arc, as well as the Filament or Veil Nebula and is located in the constellation of the Swan. This fascinating nebula consists of the remains of a massive supernova explosion that took place thousands of years ago in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The supernova relic is divided into different parts, including the Eastern, Western and Central Veil Nebulae. These delicate nebular structures consist mainly of luminous gas and fine dust left behind by the remnants of the exploded star.
