NGC 6960 aka The Witch’s Broom Nebula is the western segment of the Great Cygnus Loop, the remnants of a supernova explosion estimated to have occurred 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. There are few directly visible supernova remnants but the Veil is one of the finest.
Notice the difference? For me you can’t really tell unless you really look at it and are really familiar with the DSO. Yes I flipped the color pallette HOO to OHH. 😅 I think it still looks pretty good! Not a drastic change considering there are only 2 colors seen in it. Anyways, it’s nice to experiment and see what works and what doesn’t. 👍✨😊

The Triangulum Galaxy
From Wikipedia: "The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye. "
Took this one last year and did not like it. Found it in my disk again and said to myself. It may not be the best image but distant galaxies are somehow even more amazing than other interstellar objects as they are home to trillion of stars and even more planets where could be extraterrestrial life.
So here it is. Hope you enjoy it.

Ce soir on voyage du côté de deux galaxies, M81 (à droite) et M82 (à gauche).
.
M81, souvent nommée Galaxie de Bord, en référence à son découvreur Johann Elert Bode, est une énorme galaxie spirale. Située dans la Grande Ourse, serait située à 12millions d'années lumières de nous et aurait un diamètre de 87 000 années lumières.
.
M82, appelée galaxie du Cigare est également une galaxie spirale et avec cette fois un plus petit diamètre, de 42000 années lumières. Niveau distance elle est plus ou moins équivalente à sa voisine. On peut remarquer une énorme expansion rouge au niveau de cette galaxie, ce rouge étant de l'hydrogène ionisé.
.
Cette photo de ce duo fait probablement partie des plus belles photos de galaxies que j'ai jamais pu réaliser auparavant.

WR134 found in the constellation Cygnus. It highlights the bright edge of a ring-like nebula traced by the glow of ionized hydrogen and oxygen gas. Embedded in the region's interstellar clouds of gas and dust, the complex, glowing arcs are sections of bubbles or shells of material swept up by the wind from Wolf-Rayet star WR 134, brightest star near the center of the frame. Distance estimates put WR 134 about 6,000 light-years away, making the frame over 50 light-years across. Shedding their outer envelopes in powerful stellar winds, massive Wolf-Rayet stars have burned through their nuclear fuel at a prodigious rate and end this final phase of massive star evolution in a spectacular supernova explosion. The stellar winds and final supernovae enrich the interstellar material with heavy elements to be incorporated in future generations of stars. - NASA APOD Description June 21 2012
