Description

This is a two panel mosaic image

The detail in the filaments that the ASI2600MC-Pro resolved makes me satisfied I made the correct choice in buying this camera.

The image is a supernova remnant in Cygnus about 2500 light years from earth. The main features are the Western Veil also known as the "Witch's Broom", the Eastern Veil and Pickering's Triangle.
I have orientated the frame so that West is 'right' , East is 'left ' whish is how I saw it during imaging as it was positioned almost due south at this time of year seen from UK.
