NGC6960 Smal Veil Nebulaby *ZeSly

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Weather and Sky

The Small Veil Nebula and Pickering's Triangle

Ten thousand years ago, a star exploded as a supernova. All that remains is the gas that formed the outer shell of the star and was ejected by the explosion.

This object is immense. We see here only a part when we could put 14 full moon. Its' easy to point with a telescope with the bright on the bottom-left of the image, 52 Cygni, magnitude of 4.2, visible naked eye. Well, you need a good enough black sky anyway. It is one of my favorite things. I love to stroll along its filament.
