NGC 6960 - The Western Veil Nebula

NGC 6960 The Western Veil Nebula COAST Robotic Telescope - Open University - telescope.org -SHO filters (Sulphur Hydrogen Oxygen) - 3rd August 2019. - Pip Stakkert.

" The Veil Nebula, located in the constellation Cygnus, is an interesting telescopic target. The veil nebula or NGC 6960  is the shock wave from a supernova which occurred some 10,000 years ago. This shock wave is ploughing through the interstellar medium. Ionised hydrogen and oxygen can be seen glowing green and blue respectively in the above image. Red indicates the presence of ionised sulphur. The bright star is 52 Cygni and although it appears linked to the nebula it has nothing to do with the original supernova"  - Kurt Thrust acting CEO and current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
