A colourful photograph of the Eastern Veil Nebula, which is a Supernova remnant located in the constellation Cygnus. The colours of the various gases that make up the nebula are blue, red, yellow and orange.
Eastern Veil Nebula - NGC 6992. Rookie at astrophotography, just trying to find my way in this incredible hobby. The technical stuff might drive me over the edge. ABL (always be learning).
