Description

The eastern wing of the Veil Nebula. Subs collected in one night, so I was working with fewer than with the western portion. I think I'd really like to try making a mosaic of the entire nebula, but during my imaging sessions on these sections my DSLR sensor was HOT (95F/35C!!), and the subs were ridiculously noisy. I think I'll wait until I acquire a mono CCD to take on that project... maybe in a month or so, wife permitting. The nebula will also be in a better position, and the rainy/cloudy spring weather should be past. It'll also be getting hotter out, so a chilled sensor with higher sensitivity seems like a great idea!
