Description

Veil Nebula captured over two nights in bortle 7-8 skies. Both nights had high humidity levels of 75-80% and a ambient temp around 80eg. I really like the Optolong L-eXtreme filter, but it does play havoc with the surrounding star field. I'm continuing to work on a better workflow for dealing with the star halos and such.
