The Veil Nebula is a super nova remnant in the constellation Cygnus.
The image above shows the entire complex of nebulosity spanning about 3.5
degrees horizontally. The nebula is generally classified as two
separate nebulae, Veil Nebula East and Veil Nebula West. Visually, the
nebulae appear grayish in color with beautiful twining and twists within the
brighter portions of the nebulae. An OIII filter greatly enhances this
detail especially with larger telescopes. The Veil is situated astride
the Milky Way, as does its parent constellation, creating a very rich star
field to act as a back drop to these beautiful structures.
