Description

Captured the Veil from a pretty dark location on the Outerbanks in NC, USA.

Was only able to get 66 x60 frames with my new ZWO ASI 2600MC Pro OSC. 60s was too short of exposure, the camera with the 50K well depth can take much longer exposures.

Used dithering to get to a 12496x8352 picture, which becomes a bit unwieldly (TIFFs of 1.2GB and such). Still, loads of detail visible.

Still pretty happy with the results after this short session. Camera has a lot of promise!
