Description

This night I wanted to try out the Veil Nebula. This is the first where I am using the setup without any big issue and I am very glad for it.
I managed to get 2mn exposure thanks to the accurate polar alignment with the asiair and found out later that about 50% of the subs had minor or big tracking issues/ I experienced I  believe the periodic error of my mount not being compensated by a guiding gear it.

I actually did two stack ; the first one with all the 80 images even with guiding issues. This wad intended to improve the signal to noise ratio as much as possible and work starless with it. The second one I took the stars without any major tracking issue and create a layer mask.

Doing this I managed to get 40 extra minutes worth of data ; hope you like the results
