Rampaging Fronts of the Veil Nebula (APOD 07 March 1996)

Post by DanKarlan » Thu Jun 28, 2007 7:46 pm

I realize that the Veil Nebula is in fact cataloged as several discrete NGC items. The picture shown on APOD on March 07 1996: Rampaging Fronts of the Veil Nebula is clearly a blown-up image of a tiny fraction. But of which component of the Veil? Can anybody out there enlighten me?
