My image of the Western Veil nebula, part of the Cygnus Loop complex.
When I began imaging the Cygnus Loop two years ago, working on this target became a source of sustained inspiration while writing A Signal Through Time.

Experimenting with some widefield H-alpha. Here's some previews of how the first test night turned out. Strong gradients with all the LP here. Samyang 14mm f/2.4 XP at f/3.5 on ASI294MM, ZWO filters.

Image of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant that has a circular shape. It is composed of several sections. On the right is the Western Veil Nebula, which starts at a point near the top, and expands toward the bottom before it splits into two distinct tails. The Eastern Veil Nebula is in the left and bears a close resemblance to the head and face of the Xenomorph from the movie, "Alien."

The Cygnus Loop is a near-circular remnant of a super-nova explosion. One portion of it is called the Eastern Veil Nebula and I liken it to the Xenomorph from the movie, "Alien." Imaging details in Alt text. #cygnusloop #veilnebula #westernveilnebula #eastrnveilnebula #astrophotography #science 🧪🔭
SH2-103 Cygnus Loop - telescope processed image with Moon and Light Filter. SH2-103 (The Cygnus Loop) is a vast, 10,000-20,000-year-old supernova remnant in Cygnus. Its bright, delicate arcs are collectively known as the Veil Nebula, a stunning testament to a massive star's death.
Good Sunday morning. Getting in some observations this morning as the weather is about to turn for a while. Starting with the results of a couple of planned observations to assemble a large image. Here is another mosaic of #SH2-103 #CygnusLoop. Have done it […]

SH2-103 Cygnus Loop - telescope processed image. SH2-103, the Cygnus Loop, is a vast, ancient supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. Its visible arcs are famously known as the Veil Nebula.
SH2-103 Cygnus Loop - unprocessed image. The original supernova that created the Cygnus Loop (Veil Nebula) was so bright it would have been visible in the daytime on Earth.
I did something last night. Set the s50 to do mosaics of #Caldwell33 #TheEasternVeilNebula , #SH2-103 #CygnusLoop and #NGC6960 #TheWesternVeilNebula. Each mosaic was for 2:20 in duration. Using Affinity Photo on my iPad I made the following. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory provides another way to experience this data: three-dimensional (3D) models that allow people to explore – and print – examples of stars in the early and end stages of their lives.

A breathtaking Hubble Space Telescope image of a portion of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. Delicate filaments of shocked interstellar hydrogen gas glow intensely orange against a dark backdrop of stars. This image, taken in 1997, significantly revised scientific understanding of the remnant's distance and age.

A breathtaking Hubble Space Telescope image of a section of the Veil Nebula (Cygnus Loop), a supernova remnant from a star that exploded 7,000 years ago. The vibrant colors depict the wispy filaments of gas and dust, a stunning testament to the power of stellar death. This mosaic covers only a small part of the expansive nebula, which is over five times the size of the full Moon.

A breathtaking close-up of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Delicate filaments of shocked interstellar gas, glowing orange, are visible against a dark backdrop of stars. This image, from 1997, helped revise estimates of the remnant's distance and age, placing it at 1440 light-years and 5-10 thousand years old.

A stunning image of the Veil Nebula (NGC 6979), also known as the Cygnus Loop, showcasing its intricate filaments of glowing gas in red and blue hues. This supernova remnant, spanning six times the diameter of the full moon, is a breathtaking testament to the explosive death of a massive star, light from which reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. The image highlights the wispy structure, often called Pickering's Triangle or more accurately Fleming's Triangular Wisp, a testament to the celestial wonders discovered by early female astronomers.

The #EasternVeilNebula is part of the larger #CygnusLoop, which is about 6 times the size of the moon from our perspective. This is part of the result of a massive supernova 15,000 years ago. #Astrophotography #LosAngelesAstronomicalSociety #Astro #VeilNebula #ZWO #ASIAir
I should have given it the name “Cygnus Loop”. Apologies. Spent too much time on the Western Veil portion….

Check out this amazing cygnus loop image by one of our Observatory members. They did an amazing job on doing a Narrowband + RGB combination to really show off the dust and nebulosity! #astrophotography #cygnusloop #veilnebula www.astrobin.com/3cbqb4/C/ 🔭✨🤩 Click on over to view full image!!
The Cygnus Loop is a supernova remnant. This was taken last month using my Redcat 51. #astrophotography #cygnusloop #space #photography #nebula
This is part of the Veil nebula cygnus loop, I couldn't get the eastern veil in the shot. 2 hours of data, shot with my Williams Optics Redcat 51, and the ZWO 533 camera. This needs more time, but I just had to share because it's my first time out scoping again. #astrophotography #cygnusloop #zwo
