Description

Here it is, my big summer project! The Veil Complex in HA. This is a 5 x 4 panel mosaic. Each panel consists of approximately 2 hours of imaging using 180 sec subs. This region spans an area roughly 3 degrees across which is six times the diameter of the moon. Feel free to open in full resolution and virtually fly through all the intricate wisps of hydrogen gas that are the remnants of a supernova explosion that occurred between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. My plan is to capture the Oiii filter next summer to make a bi-color image.
