This image of the Eastern Veil Nebula was taken from my deck in Abbotsford and consists of a stack of 60 4-minute exposures taken over two successive nights. The Eastern and Western Veil Nebulae are remnants of a supernova explosion between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. They are located in Cygnus and are about 2600 light years from Earth.
