Description

This will probably be my last attempt on the Veil Nebula for this season.  Even starting as early as 6p here, it goes behind trees before I can get enough subs to make it worth my while.  That being said, I was able to get 24 subs at 600sec each on this, one of the dimmer parts of the Veil.  This is actually NGC 6974, and 6979.  I still think that the Veil Nebula is one of the most beautiful targets in our night sky, and never get bored imaging it.  Three are always new details to see, each time I do.  Clear Skies
