    NGC 6979 Pickering's Triangle (SHO)

    Pickering's Triangle, also known as Pickering's Triangular Wisp, is a part of the Veil Nebula (NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula & NGC 6992 Eastern Veil Nebula).


    This Nebula, a supernova remnant, is located in the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan).


    I processed the nebula in SHO, the Hubble palette. In the end, I experimented a bit with the colors, and that resulted in this 'electric look'.


    The following software was used:

    Astro Pixel Processor (stacking); PixInsight (processing), and I did the final touches in Affinity V3.
