Description

Found in the constellation Cygnus, the Eastern Veil Nebula supernova remnant, also known as Caldwell 33, is comprised of three portions. The brighter portion, NGC 6992, connects with NGC 6995 and IC1340 and is displayed here in "bi-color" representation. Narrowband filters were used to isolate the H-alpha and OIII emissions and reveal the structure of the nebula. Discovered in 1784 by William Herschel, The Veil complex (or Cygnus Loop) appears dim since it is spread over a large area. The source supernova violently exploded some 5,000 - 8,000 years ago leaving only these expanding filaments behind.

Telescope: Lunt Solar Systems LS60THa/B1200CPT Accessories: TeleVue 2.5x Powermate Mount: Orion Atlas EQ-G performance tuned by Astrotroniks, controlled by EQMOD Camera: Imaging Source DMK31 Exposure: 1/15sec. (prominences), 1/77sec. (surface) Gain: 888 (prominences), 500 (surface) Length: 2:00 each

Description

This image of the Sun, captured on the morning of June 12, 2011, is a composite of two images that were combined to show the prominences and surface together. We think the bright prominence to the left of the large center one looks like the shape of a person that is pointing to the big, center prom. The image was processed in false-color, then cropped to remove the bad edges that resulted from aligning the two images.
