Description

First opportunity to get out in over a month, I've missed it!

From mid-May to August the darkest it gets where I live (Dronfield, UK) is astronomical twilight. Therefore, I wanted to go for a brighter target that I could use my narrowband filter with. So, I chose the East Veil Nebula!

It was also the perfect opportunity to try a mosaic, which I've been wanting to do for a while. The image is produced from two panels, stacked and stitched together in Astro Pixel Processor.

I'd like to finish it off with some RGB stars using my broadband filter on the next clear night. That's another process I haven't tried yet!
