The Western Veil (also known as Caldwell 34), consisting of NGC 6960 (the "Witch's Broom", [10] Lacework Nebula, [8] "Filamentary Nebula" [10]) near the foreground star 52 Cygni; The Eastern Veil (also known as Caldwell 33 ), whose brightest area is NGC 6992 , trailing off farther south into NGC 6995 (together with NGC 6992 also known as ...
NGC 6960, the Western Veil, is the western part of the remnant, also known as the "Witch's Broom", located at J2000 RA 20 h 45 m 58.1 s Dec +30° 35′ 43″. [3] As the westernmost NGC object in the nebula (first in right ascension), its number is sometimes used as an NGC identifier for the nebula as a whole.
It has low surface brightness because it is so large; at its widest, the North America Nebula is 2 degrees across. Illuminated by a hot embedded star of magnitude 6, NGC 7000 is 1500 light-years from Earth.
