Part of the Veil Nebula in Cygnus, this object is the Eastern most part of a huge loop of gas let over from a long ago supernova.
I finally captured this, but I need to re-shoot it and double the exposure time. Now that it is overhead this should be easy..as soon as the sky clears up!
This was taken with a Meade LXD75 8" f/4 Schmidt Newtonian and an Olympus OM-1. Focusing was done with an STI Stiletto focuser. The exposure was 30 minutes on Kodak E200 slide film and hand guided with a 960mm f/12 refractor (as usual!). This was shot on July 3rd, 2005.
