The Veil Nebula supernova remnant

The veil nebula is not like other nebulas that I've posted here.  The veil nebula is whats known as a supernova remnant, in other words, all that is left of a star in our milky way galaxy that exploded about 5,000-10,000 years ago in the constellation cygnus.  Although there are no historical records of this happening, it undoubtedly threw the ancients into a panic.  This supernova remnant is huge, the distance between the eastern and western clouds of expanding matter is 6x that of the full moon!  Below is the Eastern limb of the veil nebula.

I have only twice directly viewed the veil nebula, both on extraordinarily still clear dark evenings, once naked eye and once via binoculars, once again, as with other nebulas, your eye is not sensitive enough to pick out the colors so even if you are fortunate enough to view this, the full glory of is expanding wall of gas is only fully viewed and appreciated in long exposure photography.  Here's an interesting feature of this nebula: My daughter first pointed this out to me during the post processing stage.  My daughter Laura is a fanatical swimmer, spends the entire summer in the water, but always with her goggles... can you see the pair of goggles intertwined with the tendrils of gas?  Click on the thumbnail on the left for a larger image.  She immediately pointed out to me "Daddy, look, the goggle nebula!".  This photo clearly shows the gasseous tendrils of hydrogen and triply ionized oxygen, the two dominant spectral wavelengths of this particular supernova.  This photon on the left is simply a closeup taken from the full resolution photo of the eastern limb. 

Here's another section of the veil nebula, NGC6960, more commonly referred to as "the witches broom".  This is the western most section of the nebula, you can also see in this photo some additional hydrogen alpha (red) which makes up whats known as pickerings triangle, or Pickerings wisp.  Once again, these are just two parts of the entire veil, I was not able to fit the whole thing into one field of view because of its size.  Both of these photos were taken in early September, they were composites of 20 5 minute exposures taken with my modified canon 350d and takahashi e-160.  I also used a hutech light pollution filter called an IDAS LPS, this is the best filter out there for combating light pollution as it narrows in on specific sources of light pollution, like mercury vapor and sodium halide, typical street light emissions.  Any requests?  I have the glories of autumn coming up soon, andromeda in particular (our sister galaxy).
