Description

Had a couple of hours of clear skies so set up AT106EDT with new ASI2600MC and dual band filter - I am amazed at the detail captured with only 2hrs of subs.

The Cygnus loop is located approx 2600  lights years distant from earth and the Cygnus Loop is physically some 130 light years in diameter and has an age of around 21,000 years.
This image is the western side of the viel, I plan to capture the Eastern Veil and create a 2 panel mosaic
