Description

The veil nebula network was always on my todo list. The Eastern veil was a good fit for the 6 inch newtonian so I gave it a shot to see how well it would work. I was amazed at the level of detail I was able to get in 100minutes of integration time. The image unfortunately highlighted an issue with either my calibration or a light leak somewhere as it had strong reflections that I couldn't calibrate out or flatten with DBE no matter what I tried. After cropping out about 40% of the image I was left with the nebula itself which is nice at least.

I am looking forward to ironing out these kinks so I can start building a good set of well calibrated images to build on!
