Description

Capturing this object was done over 3 nights and 2 panels (Eastern Veil and Western Veil).  After processing each of them individually, I merged them in photoshop.  This is also my second attempt at this object, and used the Optolong L-Extreme this time to capture it.  That and taking the images before the moon rose left very little noise I had to clean up.  Overall, I didn't have to stretch this image as much as the first attempt.
