52 Cygni and NGC6960 The Veil Nebula – The Witches Broom

A Supernova Remnant in Cygnus, A massive star exploded about 5,000 years ago leaving this beautiful filamentary remnant amongst a star studded field of the Cygnus Milky Way.

I decided to try a close-up with the 12 inch diameter scope this time to explore the filaments of the Witches Broom.

Its only 17 minutes of data with a HAP modified Canon 6D DSLR.

12 inch F4 TPO Scope & Software Bisque ME Mount, HAP Modified Canon 6D DSLR, ISO 800, Astronomik CLS filter, 17 minute exposure, or (17 x 1 minute) before the clouds rolled in at my observatories in Yellow Springs, Ohio on 10-01-2021.
