Description

This dusty region adjacent to the western Veil Nebula was brought to my attention on Cloudy Nights when @Dean Jacobsen in a discussion with @Andy Ermolli shared images of this area.  Not many images of this area reveal the dust due to its inherent faintness and also the tendency to "process it away."  The stars in my final image have been very lightly stretched to allow details of the dust to show more clearly.  Also, a "stars only" image (see revisions) is included which reveals a large drop off in stars when moving from the region of the Veil Nebula into the dusty area.

Imaged over several nights:  Aug 19-20, 24, 2023.
