Description

My first time shooting the Veil.  Used the Optolong L-eNhance dual NB filter. 
It appears my focus could have been tighter although I did use the auto focus routine in ASI AIR Pro along with the ASI EAF which completed successfully. 
Did not check further with a B - mask. 
Seeing & transp. were both above average for most of the nights and guiding was some of the best I've had:  .4-.6" RMS every night. But I still don't like the way most of the stars look, and 52 Cygni has a halo.
