Description

I only had 15 minutes of integration time. It was a cloudy night and my main target was M101, which didn't turn out well.

So for this shot I was limited to 8x 120s exposure under Bortle 6 skies. It was my first time looking at the veil nebula. I was surprised that it was visible even with a non-modified DSLR.
