Description

10 Hours - Eastern Veil Nebula
120 x 300 second exposures
Bortle 5

Possibly my best one yet, I had 2 clear nights with the new telescope (6" Newtonian Reflector) right before the smoke from the BC wildfires moved in.

I've finally been able to dial in the AM5, even with the weight of the new scope. I'm now consistently getting around 0.5-0.6" total RMS error. The guide I followed for better... guiding.

After stacking the raw exposures, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do any editing.. the image was impressive enough (to me) as it was.

I literally sat on this one for 10 days before making up my mind about an hour ago!

Hoping for these fires to die down soon - not just so I can image, but for the evacuated families to be able to return home. 

CS - now more than ever,
Harlan
