Description

My bi-color edit of the Western Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant packed with H-alpha and Oiii. This has been a fun project, a very difficult one to capture in narrowband, maybe someday I'll add RGB stars to the scene to give it a bit more pop. I'm happy with the detail I was able to extract given the relatively short integration time, both H-alpha and Oiii managed quite a bit of signal.

Shot with an ASI183mm-Pro and WO GT81 on a Sirius EQ-G mount, all subs are at Gain 178 and offset 11, 5 minutes per sub

H-alpha was 72 total subs, Oiii was 63 total subs. Editing done in PixInsight, Photoshop, and Lightroom.
