In honor of May Day, I tried the Gauze Nebula of the Swan constellation with a double narrow-band filter, it paid off, the gauze nebula was drawn nicely in the pictures in just one minute, in the past you had to expose much longer for the Gauze Nebula to be visible. Only a few cloud rafts disturbed me and it can also be seen in the picture as a distraction.

- Deep space object
Designation
- NGC 6960
Constellation
- Cygnus

Nebulae
- Supernova remnant
  
  Supernova remnant is the remnant of the big star died in supernova explosion. The supernova remnants are quite irregularly shaped. Rather many of them ring-like strusture.
  
  The moderate big instruments and possibly special filters are needed to see supernova remnants.
  
  The Crab Nebula was born in a star explosion in 1054. This is the easiest supernova remnant in the sky to observe. Image Tero Hirvikoski.
  
  The supernova remnant Simesis 147 is in Taurs and Auriga. Image J-P Metsävainio.
  
  The Veil Nebula in Cygnus is wide-area supernova remnant in the sky. There is a detailed image of the boxed area. Image J-P Metsävainio.
  
  This detail of Veil Nebula is known as Pickering's Triangle. Image J-P metsävainio.
