Description

After six weeks of bad weather we finally had a clear night so that I could finish this image!

This is a two panel mosaic of the Veil nebula in HOO, taken over five nights. My stars are a little wonky in some corners as I didn't have AF for the first four sessions, but that is solved now and future images should have good star shapes across the frame.

Panel 1 (left): 
Ha - 48x 300s (4 hours)
Oiii - 81x 300s (6.75 hours)

Panel 2 (right):
Ha - 48x 300s (4 hours)
Oiii - 57x 300s (4.75 hours)

Total exposure = 19.5 hours

Constructive criticism is welcomed
