The Cygnus Loop

Tracked widefield image of the Cygnus Loop. It is a vast, 120 light year wide supernova remnant located about 2,400 to 2,600 light years away in the Cygnus constellation. Created by a massive stellar explosion 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. Captured from my backyard in Osijek, Croatia. Acquired with a Nikon D3400 and Askar FMA180 Pro mounted on a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTI.
