Description

First attempt imaging the Eastern Veil. Was tempted to rotate it clockwise, as it looks almost as if it is a profile shot of some smiling ghoul. Hopefully last image taken with the ZWO narrowband filters; moving to Astronomik (although the Ha ZWO did a great job on this image).

Taken with the .7x ES reducer (on the ES 127mm CF refractor). Definitely have some tilt I need to work out, likely on the ASI 1600 camera, not the reducer (tilt appears with just a flattener). Cropped to bury the tilt.

Ha: 87x240s (130 gain / 21 offset)

OIII: 38x240s (75 gain / 15 offset)
