70 x 70 cm, (Museum-quality archival pigment print on aluminum, Diasec-mounted)
A detail from the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant located at a distance of approximately 1,500 light-years in the constellation Cygnus. The image shows an area of about four square degrees near the center of the nebula. The core left behind by the star has collapsed into a neutron star and emits intense X-ray radiation. This radiation ionizes the gas clouds and causes them to glow by emitting light themselves. The color of the light depends on the elements present and the degree of ionization. Photographed with an 11” reflector telescope and narrowband filters, with a total exposure time of approximately 8 hours.
