Rampaging Fronts of the Veil Nebula - March 7th, 1996.
"A supernova explosion of a high-mass star results in fast moving blast waves. At the front of the waves shown above, ionised gas in the Veil Supernova Remnant rushes out from the explosion, sweeps up material, and breaks up many atoms into constituent ions and electrons. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1993 indicate that the blue shock wave was catapulted away from the stellar explosion after the red shock wave, and had yet to catch up to it in some regions. The Veil supernova remnant's has a very large angular size - six times the diameter of the full Moon - and different parts of it are known as the "Cygnus Loop" and catalog numbers NGC 6960, NGC 6979, NGC 6992, and NGC 6995."

A nebula inspired by a giant squid and the Veil Nebula.
My favorite cryptid growing up, but now considered a real species. How often does that happen?

More space rambles: I tried imaging from my driveway and discovered that, no, the streetlights are still too close to not cause glare - even though this scope is designed with a long shade.

That same week I went somewhere darker and took two better pictures.

First steps at DSO image processing - I learned I need more time on the object as this is only 15 minutes worth of data and my battery died but we can change that in the future :)
