First light for the Autumn Season 2013, NGC 6992
In this year it took some time to have a real first light for the season due to the weather up here 65N.
Image is exposed during several nights, 13.09 - 14.10, between the speeding clouds.
NGC 6992
A portion of the Eastern Veil in constellation Cygnus.
Image is in mapped colors, from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.

INFO
NGC 6992, the Eastern Veil, is part of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant in constellation Cygnus at distance of about 1470 light years. This is one of the more luminous areas in this SNR.
The shock front formed by the material ejected from giant explosion, the super nova, can be seen in this image.
Image in visual spectrum
Image is in Natural color palette from the emission of ionized elements,
