Veil (Western) Nebula

Camera Canon 20Da
Date 9/17/07
Description NGC 6960, also called the "Witches Broom Nebula" formed when a star went Supernova. What we see here is the Western portion of the nebula. The complete nebula is so large that I can't see the entire nebula through my telescope. Look at the wispy reds and blues.
