Description

I think the Veil Nebula is perhaps the most striking thing in the night sky.  The vivid blues and reds next to each other are jaw dropping.  This image for me was a test of how well I could utilize star reduction, the starfield behind this target is so incredibly dense I worried it would overwhelm the actual gas.  But PixInsight really makes this process easy.  I'm looking forward to revisiting this target, and working to capture then entire supernova remnant.
