NGC 6995 is part of the Veil Nebula complex, a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus. This section, also known as the Bat Nebula, displays delicate filaments of gas expanding from the explosion of a massive star some 8,000 years ago.
With a 118-minute exposure, I was able to capture the ethereal texture of ionized gases, especially hydrogen (Ha) in reddish hues and doubly ionized oxygen (OIII) in blue. The image reveals the dynamism of interstellar matter, where supernova remnants continue to shape the galactic environment.
This object, although less well-known than other Veil objects, offers a subtle and complex beauty that rewards the astrophotographer's patience.
