Description

Finally a clear night on Saturday but the moon was of course as full as it can be. So I decided to aim my dual-RASA rig at something bright with a lot of Ha and Oiii that could be picked up by NBZ filters. So not that much to chose from. On the other hand I have not imaged the Veil since my first year in Astrophotography (2015). I caught 11.5 hours, before it went down behind the obsy wall. At f/2 that gets you quite deep. On this object with a massive starfield I of course used starless processing of the nebulosity (Star XTerminator). The moon caused surprisingly little gradient problems, and nothing that Gradient XTerminator could not handle quite well.
Please zoom in, I think the data can support it.
CS, Göran
