Description

This is the first target I ever imaged years ago and the results were not very good. So when AstroBin crashed I didn’t bother to upload the Veil Nebula back, rather than decided to recapture it at some point in the future. Unfortunately this summer has been even worse than the last one with only a handful of clear nights (June and July had only three together!) so finishing this took a long time. 

I left this image rather bright as there was so much going on in the background and I really wanted to showcase that. As usually, I captured about an hour with each of the RGB filters to get the stars colored also.
