Description

This is my first ever attempt at any portion of the Veil Nebula. The first thing that stands out to me is that I really need to upgrade my narrowband filters. The star halos are insane here. Equipment limitations aside, the processing of such a delicate framework of nebula was a unique challenge as it is very easy to destroy data if you are not careful. I am going to continue working on this image...and maybe see if I can find a way to deal with the halos.

Description: Added more data and reprocessed. I paid particular attention to the faint nebulosity, trying to ensure that it wasn't lost in noise reduction.
