Description

First cut at the Veil Nebula, a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus about 2400 light years away. Taken at home between 10PM and midnight on 10/22/22. I used the iOptron HEM27 mount and ZWO 30mm guide scope and ZWO ASI120MM-S camera.  Image is from a William Optics GT71 scope and 7x600 subs with an ASI294MC Pro camera, gain 117, and Optolong L-Extreme filter.  Data stacked and processed with Pixinsight, Windows, and Apple edit.
