Description

The Veil Nebula is a further image from 2018 that I have been reprocessed during the last days. The challenge here is the many thousands of stars that can be found in this stellar region. So, I needed numerous processing iterations until I was reasonably happy. Especially, the PixInsight StarNet process did a really great job. As a result, the fine nebula structures are also affected by this process. Hence, different masks have been used to protect the nebula parts.

Since I integrated only 31 frames taken with my Canon 700Da, the background is not really clean. Nevertheless, I hope you like it!
