Description

The Veil Nebula is by far my favorite target in the night sky.  I just love the intricacy, and colors of this spectacular super nova remanent.  I have imaged it quite a few times, but never with my Celestron 8 telescope.  It was my second target last night, after one day shy of a month of nothing but smoke and clouds to deal with.  But last night the sky was clear and crisp, and a perfect night to dust off the scope!  I was only able to get 25 images, of which I used 23, before said clouds came rolling back in.  So here you go!  Clear Skies
Mark
