Description

This photo is a comedy of errors..I meant to be shooting the Western Veil Nebula and I accidentally shot the Eastern. This shot is in RGB and the orientation is wrong because of my original error, so this is only a small segment of the entire nebula. I will be re-shooting the whole thing, which will include Hydrogen Alpha and OIII filtering I was still surprised that this came out with such detail so I am posting. More to come on this one for sure. I also think I will have to switch to a DSLR or use my other scope with hyperstar in order to get the entire nebula.
