The Other Veil Nebula
Sh2-91,
the Other Veil nebula, is part of supernova remnant G65.2+5.7 which
stretches almost 600 light-years across. This portion covers about 230
light-years. The supernova remnant is about 2,500 light-years from
Earth. It is thought to be very old, with some estimates as much as
400,000 years.
Sh2-91
is considerably fainter than the commonly known Veil Nebula. To get a
clean capture of the fainter detail, 3nm filters are required as
well as about 10 hours of total integration tme.
