Description

This part of the Veil Nebula has been on my wish list for a very long time. The signal strength is remarkably strong in H-alpha, as well as OIII and SII, so it was a lot of fun to process this image. In addition to the exposures in narrow band, I also took pure exposures in RGB and used them for a color calibrated integration of the stars. Revision A is a closer look to the "core area" of the triangle with all the great details in the filaments and revision B shows the full field of view with some long foothills and many other structures. The picture invites you for a walk.
