Description

The Veil Nebula / Cygnus Loop taken with a OSC and processed using the HOO palette. This is my first image taken with the RedCat 61. The moon was nearly full and close by, so this shows the effectiveness of the Optolong L-Ultimate duo narrowband filter.

Description: Using suggestions from John Favalessa, I used 2x drizzle then saved the image as a jpeg file. The 15MB jpeg file is indistinguishable from the 561MB tif file, IMO. This eliminated the need to resample at a lower resolution after 2x drizzle to reduce the size of a tif/png file. While processing this image, I decide to not use BlurXterminator on the stars. Instead, I used only Bill Blanshan's star reduction script in PI to reduce the stars, but still be able to see them in the full frame view.
